Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound)
3 medium portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
8 slices whole wheat bread, lightly grilled
2 cups arugula or 2 cups spinach, stemmed and chopped if large
1 large tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Mash garlic into a paste on a cutting board with the back of a spoon. Combine with mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Coat both sides of eggplant rounds and mushroom caps with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until tender and browned on both sides: 2 to 3 minutes per side for eggplant, 3 to 4 minutes for mushrooms. When cool enough to handle, slice the mushrooms.
  • Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of the garlic mayonnaise on each piece of bread. Layer the eggplant, mushrooms, arugula (or spinach) and tomato slices onto 4 slices of bread and top with the remaining bread.
