Ingredients
- ½ cups chopped, seeded fresh tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 small eggplant, cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices
- olive oil
- Six 1-inch thick slices French bread
- 9 ounces soft mild goat cheese (or honey goat cheese)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh basil and red wine vinegar. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or preheat broiler). Brush 6 eggplant slices lightly with olive oil (reserve the remaining eggplant for another use). Brush the bread lightly with olive oil. Grill the eggplant and bread until golden, about 4 minutes per side for eggplant and 2 minutes per side for bread.
- Arrange the bread slices on plates. Spread the goat cheese on top, dividing evenly. Top with the eggplant slices and season with salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, mound the tomato mixture on the eggplant, spread to cover and serve.
