Ingredients:

  • 1 slice whole wheat bread
  • 1/2 cup diced eggplant
  • 1/4 cup canned tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sliced olives
  • 1 tablespoon feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon oil or margarine, if available

Instructions:

  1. Dice the eggplant into small cubes so it cooks quickly.
  2. Warm oil or margarine in a pan and cook the eggplant for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until soft.
  3. Add canned tomatoes, olives, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until saucy.
  4. Toast the whole wheat bread.
  5. Spoon the warm eggplant-tomato mixture over the toast and sprinkle with feta.

Good for: A cozy but not heavy lunch that feels like a small Mediterranean bruschetta.

Optional: Add melted sliced cheese for a more filling toast.
