Ingredients

1 medium eggplant

3 ounces mushrooms, sliced

3 ounces cheddar cheese

6 slices whole-wheat bread, lightly toasted

6 tablespoons hummus

lettuce leaves

alfalfa sprouts

cooking spray

Preparation

Heat up a small grill. Slice the eggplant into thin slices and spray each slice lightly with cooking spray. Grill the slices for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until the eggplant begins to brown. Grill the mushroom slices for approximately 1 minute on each side-they burn easily, so be careful. Remove eggplant and mushrooms from grill.

Spread the hummus on the toast, arrange all bread on a cookie sheet. Layer each piece of bread with eggplant, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of the cheese.

Put the pieces of bread together in sandwich form and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Open the sandwiches and stick lettuce and alfalfa sprouts inside.
