Photo: Grilled Vegetable, Herb and Goat Cheese Sandwiches Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 zucchini, ends trimmed and discarded, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
- 2 Japanese eggplants, ends trimmed and discarded, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
- 1 (12 1/2-ounce) baguette, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise
- 1 cup (6 1/2 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach
Directions
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, tarragon, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture in a medium bowl. Add the zucchini and eggplant and toss until coated. Place the vegetables on the grill pan or grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until tender. While the vegetables are cooking, spread the olive oil mixture on the baguette halves. Using a spatula spread the goat cheese over the olive oil mixture. Place the cooked vegetables on the bottom half of the baguette. Arrange the spinach on top of the vegetables. Place the top half of the baguette over the filling.
To serve, cut the baguette into 4 sandwiches. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Super delicious! I love Giada's veggie sandwiches, and this one is awesome with all of the fresh herbs and the tangy goat cheese. Next time I will add some grilled onions to the mix.

Thank you Giada for this awesome recipe. I made some tweaks because i didn't have fresh herbs on hand so i used 1/4 tsp each of the dry equivalents, i substituted swiss cheese for the goat cheese, and i used semi moist sun dried tomatoes from a bag instead of the kind in oil. Me and my boyfriend gobbled these sandwiches up they were so delicious.

I had a hard time getting everything to stay on the veggies during the grilling, so I mixed the sun-dried tomatoes and herbs into the goat cheese. Delicious!
