- 8 slices whole-wheat, light bread (I used Sara Lee Delightful)
- 8 1/2-inch slices eggplant, (about 1 small)
- 4oz goat cheese, softened at room temperature
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 garlic glove, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted, seeded, peeled and quartered
- 4 slices red onion
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce

- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 garlic glove, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted, seeded, peeled and quartered
- 4 slices red onion
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
Directions:
Preheat grill or Panini press to a medium-high. Combine goat cheese, basil and garlic in a small bowl. Lightly spray both sides both sides of eggplant with non fat cooking spray and sprinkle each slice with salt. Then lightly spray each slice of bread with the cooking spray. Grill the eggplant for 6 minutes, turn with a spatula, and continue grilling until the the eggplant is tender, about 4 minutes more. Toast the bread on the grill, 1 to 2 minutes per side. To assemble sandwiches: Spread basil goat cheese on four slices of bread. Top with the eggplant, red peppers, onion, lettuce and the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve warm.
