Time 18m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

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.

Tips:

Use good quality bread. A sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread will hold up well to the filling and won't get soggy.
Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread before grilling. This will help the bread to brown and crisp up.
Don't overload the sandwich with filling. Too much filling will make the sandwich difficult to eat and may cause the bread to tear.
Use a combination of cheeses that melt well together. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and Gruyère.
Add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or arugula, to add flavor and texture.
If you don't have a grill, you can make this sandwich in a panini press or in a skillet over medium heat.

The sun-dried tomato grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
