I used sliced pita breads and processed cheese spread since we don't get goat cheese here. The mustard was rather strong for my liking, so next time I'll reduce the amount. Also, chopping the veggies into smaller sections after grilling would really help, since most of the veggies tend to fall into your mouth the very first bite! Thanks Dorothy, this was really good, and very easy to make.

Delicious! I loved the goat cheese on it. I also added grilled onion, mayonaisse and sliced tomoato.

This is a fast recipe, full of color, texture and taste. I enjoyed the chevre with the eggplant. For visual interest, I used 1 green pepper, and 1 red pepper. I thought the taste was terrific. Thanks, Derf, for sharing this wonderful recipe. Definately on my keeper list.
