Serves: 6-10
 
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into ½ inch thick slices lengthwise
  • 4-5 zucchinis, sliced into ½ inch thick slices lengthwise
  • 3 bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow… or a mix of these), tops cut off and seeds removed
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 8 ounces of goat cheese
  • large handful of basil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Place eggplant, zucchini, and peppers on baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and salt, and bake for 25 minutes.
  3. While the vegetables roast, make the goat cheese spread. Using a food processor, chop up your basil into medium sized pieces. Add the goat cheese and pulse the food processor until you’ve got a good blend.
  4. Once peppers have cooled, scrape the skins off the with a knife. Try not to mangle it too much, but it’s okay if it comes apart in a couple different pieces. Slice each pepper in half.
  5. Next, take a bread baking dish and start layering: eggplant, zucchini, pepper, goat cheese. Repeat again. If you have additional vegetables, keep layering. On top of the last layer of cheese, you want at least another layer of eggplant. Note that when you serve this, you’re going to flip it over, so use your prettiest piece of eggplant on the bottom and save the more torn up pieces of the top.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and put in the fridge with some weight on it. This will help it all meld together. I used a bag of potatoes and a water pitcher. I’m sure there are better options. It should stay in the fridge for 8 hours minimum to set. The more the better.
