Grilled Tomato, Basil, And Goat Cheese Sandwiches

Directions

1. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut baguette crosswise in half. Cut each half lengthwise in half to create 4 pcs total. Combine oil, garlic, and herbs in small bowl. Brush all cut sides of bread with half of oil mix.
2. Grill bread, cut-sides down, till lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Remove from grill. Quickly spread cut sides of toast with goat cheese. Top with tomatoes and olives, dividing equally. Drizzle remaining oil mix on top.
3. Return open-face sandwiches to grill. Cook till bottom sides are toasted, cheese melts, and tomatoes begin to soften, about 3 min. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half and serve.
4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
5. Comments: Play off the Provencal flavors by passing an arugula salad tossed with red wine vinaigrette. Sliced peaches topped with honey and lowfat sour cream would make a great finale.
