Ingredients
1 Eggplant, cut into 6 strips lengthwise 1 Large red bell pepper1 Tbs. olive oil1 Cup sliced mushrooms3 Cloves garlic, crushed4 Tbs. fat-free mayonnaise 1 Large red onion, sliced in rings4 oz. Goat cheese, soft1 loaf focaccia or ciabatta bread (not included in nutritional value as breads vary greatly)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Lightly brush the eggplant and whole pepper with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast until the eggplant is tender, about 25 minutes. Just before taking the eggplant out of the oven, top with sliced goat cheese and allow to melt.

3.Roast the pepper until the skin is blackened then remove from oven and set aside to cool.

4. In the meantime, heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan and saute mushrooms and onions until tender.

5. Stir crushed garlic into the mayonnaise and set aside.

6. Peel cooled pepper by rubbing in a paper towel, core and slice.

7. Slice the bread lengthwise. Spread with mayonnaise mixture on both halves. Arrange eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, and onions on the focaccia.

If serving warm: I like to toast the bread first and then layer all hot vegetables inside.

If serving cold: Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap and press beneath a heavy cutting board for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

    I don't understand why I had to slice the eggplant in 6 when the meal is for 4 servings. It also took an additional 15 minutes for the eggplant to cook. Hopefully it will be tasty. - 2/3/18
