directions: 'Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal
  grill.  Drizzle 3 T. olive oil over the slices of eggplant and toss to coat.  Grill
  the eggplant until tender and grill marks appear, about 3-4 min. per side.


  Place the eggplant side-by-side on a serving platter.  Sprinkle with pine nuts,
  goat cheese, basil and mint.  Drizzle with 3 T. extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic
  vinegar, salt & pepper.


  Note: Plating the eggplant this way allows the cheese to stay bright white.  The
  salt & pepper showed up on it.  The herbs remain green and fluffy.  The grill
  marks on the eggplant were distinct.'
