Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Toasts

On this page


Grilled veggies are combined with fresh tomatoes and white beans and spooned over grilled slices of multigrain bread spread with goat cheese. The white beans take on the flavors of the other ingredients and add body, fiber, and protein.

Serves 4

  • 1 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 onion, cut into ½-inch-thick rounds
  • 6 ounces multigrain bakery bread, cut into 8 (½-inch-thick) slices
  • 1 (4-ounce) package fresh goat cheese
  • 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • ½ (16-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
