Eggplant, Tomato and Goat Cheese “Sandwiches”

These are delicious with either goat cheese or mozzarella. They are a great option for dinner if you participate in Meatless Mondays!

Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant

- 3 ripe tomatoes

-  1 package of goat cheese

- Balsamic vinegar (I used a garlic infused vinegar) and olive oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat a grill to medium heat.

2. Slice eggplant into half inch slices. In a bowl, toss eggplant with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let sit for 5 minutes to marinate.

3. Meanwhile, slice tomatoes and goat cheese.

4. Assemble sandwiches with from bottom to top as follow: eggplant slice, tomato slice, goat cheese slice and eggplant slice.  Use tooth picks to keep sandwiches together.

5. Place on the grill and cook on each side for 6-8 minutes.

6. Assemble on serving plates and remove toothpicks (or warn your diners so they can remove the toothpicks themselves)
