Ingredients

  • 1 Pure Flavor® Eggplant, cut into ½ inch slices
  • 2 Pure Flavor® Sweet Red Bell Peppers, quartered
  • 8 Pure Flavor® Azuca Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 tbsp fresh basil, finely minced
  • 8 (½ inch) slices, crusty bread
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • ½ cup crumbled feta

Directions

Step 1

Don’t peel eggplant. Remove ends and cut into ½ inch slices.

Step 2

Sprinkle both sides with salt and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Thoroughly rinse slices to remove all salt and drain on absorbent paper.

Step 4

Combine olive oil and garlic and lightly brush each slice and peppers.

Step 5

Grill eggplant and peppers over medium high heat on grill, grill pan or broiler. When soft, remove immediately. Slice peppers into ¼" strips.

Step 6

Grill cherry tomatoes for 3 - 4 minutes until slightly soft with grill marks.

Step 7

Toast bread and brush very lightly with olive oil.

Step 8

Place a slice of eggplant on toasted bread, sprinkle crumbled feta on top. Lay 2-3 strips of pepper on top, 1-2 fresh basil leaves and a grilled tomato on top. Secure with a toothpick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
