GRILLED BRUSCHETTA
This is my go-to appetizer in the summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh from the garden. The balsamic glaze takes this bruschetta recipe over the top. I like to use a Tuscan herb- or basil-infused olive oil for this. But, it's great with just plain olive oil, too. -Brittany Allyn, Mesa, Arizona

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices on a mandoline if you have one. Put the eggplant in a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
- Grill the eggplant in batches until there are grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until there are grill marks and the eggplant softens and is no longer white, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining eggplant.
- Grill the tomatoes on each side until they begin to pop, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a medium bowl. Turn off the heat.
- To make the vinaigrette, put the vinegar, mustard, sugar, shallots, garlic, pinch salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup oil while whisking continuously until emulsified. Add the basil, oregano and thyme; set aside.
- Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread slices with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until the bread is crusty and you see grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Put the artichokes in a large bowl. Chop up the cooled eggplant. Remove the cherry tomato skins if desired; they should come right off. Halve or quarter the tomatoes and add to the bowl. Add the lemon zest and half of the vinaigrette and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Top each piece of grilled bread with 3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and some crumbled feta if desired.

Steps:
- Place the eggplant in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt and let stand 30 minutes. (This removes the excess water from the eggplant.) Rinse the eggplant and arrange in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (see Cook's Note).
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush the eggplant and bread slices with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the eggplant with salt and pepper.
- Line a small rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Toss the grape tomatoes, vinegar, honey and the remaining tablespoon olive oil on the foil. Bake the tomatoes until they burst, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill the eggplant until browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Grill the bread until toasted and grill marks appear, 1 minute on each side. Rub the cut sides of the garlic on the bread. Set aside.
- Transfer the tomatoes to a medium bowl. Coarsely chop the eggplant and add to the tomatoes. Add the chopped basil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the ricotta onto the grilled bread. Top with the eggplant mixture and garnish with additional basil. Cut the bread in half, if desired.
