Eggplant grilled cheese

This one is for those stormy summer days. The days where you stay in, read, watch movies and relax.

It's so easy, so gooey and delicious. You will lick your fingers.


What you will need (for one grilled cheese)

• 2 slices of your favorite bread (I've used one with loads of grains in it)
• about 10 thin sliced of eggplant (small) or 4 (big)
• 2 small red shallots, chopped into thin rings
• Soft goat cheese
• 1 tablespoon of fresh, minced basil, rosemary, thyme
• 2 tablespoons of margarine
• 2 tablespoons of oil.

1. In a frying pan, on medium-low, drop in about 1 1/2 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, drop in both the shallots and eggplants. Fry them. When done, remove them from the pan. You can oil if you find that they arent frying well.
2. Take your slices of bread. Spread margarine on both exterior sides (the ones that will be touching the pan.
3. Spead some soft goat cheese on one of the interior sides on ONE of the slices.
4. Sprinkle the herbs and place the shalotts and eggplant on top.
5. Top with the other slice of bread.
6. In the same frying pan (it will absorb the flavour fromt he eggplant and shallots), over medium-high, place the sandwich and and let grill for about 1 minute. Flip. Do this until the bread is crispy and golden. Take off the heat.

I recommend slicing the sandwich in two before devouring it. You can have it alone, with a simple salad or ok, yes, fries.

Enjoy!
