For the eggplant:
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped, fresh basil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
2 small eggplants

For the sandwiches:
1/2 cup cream cheese, low-fat whipped, or goat cheese
4 pieces of focaccia or other good quality bread, sliced in half,
lengthwise
2/3 cup spinach, washed and dried
4 slices of tomato


For the eggplant: Preheat the grill. Mix the olive oil, garlic, salt,
pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the basil together. Slice the eggplants
lengthwise into half-inch slices. Brush the slices on both sides with the
olive oil mixture. Grill the eggplant slices until they become soft in the
center, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

For the sandwiches: Mix the cheese, the remaining teaspoon of basil, salt
and pepper together. Set aside. Spread 4 halves of bread with the cheese
mixture, then top with the spinach or arugula, a slice of tomato and a few
slices of eggplant. Place the other half of the bread on top.
