Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste (preferably sun-dried, found in the international aisle of most supermarkets)
- 1/3 cup fresh goat cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium. Brush both sides of the eggplant with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt.
- Grill until tender and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Spread 2 slices of bread with the tomato paste and spread the remaining 2 slices with the goat cheese. Form 2 sandwiches with the bread and eggplant.
- Brush both sides of the sandwiches with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then press on 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. (The oil helps the cheese stick.)
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the sandwiches and cook until the Parmesan has browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
