1
small eggplant,
sliced 1/2 inch thick
4
cups
of water
2
tablespoons
of salt
1
teaspoon
of paprika
1
tablespoon
of olive oil

1/4
cup

made from approx 1 cup raw chard
1
tablespoon

Instructions
Part I
Mix salt and water in a large bowl and soak eggplant slices for 3-4 hours (overnight is better). This will draw moisture out of the eggplant.
After eggplant slices are soaked, wash them off with cold water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Mix paprika and olive oil together and lightly glaze each side of the eggplant.
Heat up grill or pan, and cook glazed eggplant slices for 5-7 minutes on each side over a medium high flame.
Part II
On toast, spread goat cheese as a base.
Layer bread with chard, cherry tomatoes, and slices of grilled eggplant.
Finish off with a dash of black pepper. Enjoy!
