Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and spray a shallow 1,4 litre oven dish with non-stick spray.
Place the peppers skin side up on a baking tray. Heat the oven grill and grill the peppers until the skin is dark brown and blistered. Remove from the oven, place in a plastic bag, close and cool. Skin the peppers and cool.
Brush the brinjal and courgettes with oil and grill for about 3-4 minutes on both sides until slightly browned. Quarter the brinjal slices, mix all the vegetables and spoon into the dish. Cover with the cheese slices.
Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a fairly large saucepan and stir in the dry polenta. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until done, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and stir in half the Cheddar cheese and thyme. Season to taste and spoon the polenta over the vegetables and cheese.
Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.
Serve with fresh crusty bread.
