    List of Ingredients




    Grilled Eggplant Sandwich



    For the eggplant:
    4 teaspoons olive oil
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    1 1/2 teaspoons chopped, fresh basil
    salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper
    2 small eggplants

    For the sandwiches:
    1/2 cup cream cheese, low-fat whipped, or goat cheese
    4 pieces of focaccia or other good quality bread, sliced in half, lengthwise
    2/3 cup spinach, washed and dried
    4 slices of tomato

    Recipe




    For the eggplant:
    1. Preheat the grill.
    2. Mix the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the basil together. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into half-inch slices. Brush the slices on both sides with the olive oil mixture.
    3. Grill the eggplant slices until they become soft in the center, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

    For the sandwiches:
    1. Mix the cheese, the remaining teaspoon of basil, salt and pepper together. Set aside.
    2. Spread 4 halves of bread with the cheese mixture, then top with the spinach or arugula, a slice of tomato and a few slices of eggplant. Place the other half of the bread on top.
