tablespoon tomatoes, 1 tablespoon wilted spinach and 1 tablespoon cheese on
each eggplant slice. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, tomato,
spinach and cheese. Sprinkle each stack with some of the remaining basil.
Place the baking sheet on the grill, close the lid and grill until the
eggplant stack is hot and the cheese has melted, for about 5 to 7 minutes.
