FOR THE TOPPING:
2 large red bell peppers
2 medium Japanese eggplant, trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch slices
extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup basil chiffonade
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

1 loaf rustic Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
8 ounces fresh goat cheese

TO MAKE THE TOPPING: Grill the bell peppers over Direct Medium heat until the skins are evenly charred on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and place in a paper bag close tightly. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes to steam off the skins. Remove the peppers from the bag and peel away the charred skins. Cut off the tops and remove the seeds. Cut each pepper into 1/4 inch dice and transfer to a medium bowl.

Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and grill over Direct Medium heat until soft and browned, 6 to 8 minutes, turning and basting with the oil once halfway through grilling time. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1/4 inch dice. Add to the peppers along with the remaining topping ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Grill the bread slices over Direct Medium heat until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes, turning once halfway thought grilling time. Remove from the grill. Spread a layer of goat cheese on each slice and spoon the vegetable mixture on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
