1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar

¼ teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper

4 medium Portobello mushrooms, stemmed

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 Sara Lee® DelightfulWheat Hamburger Buns

Preparation

Heat gas or charcoal grill to high heat.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil,  with the vinegar, salt and pepper. Brush mixture over mushrooms, bell pepper and eggplant slices. Let vegetables stand 10 minutes.

Combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic and red pepper. Brush evenly on cut sides of buns. Set aside.

Grill vegetables in covered grill 3-5 minutes on each side until grill marked and tender-crisp. Slice the red pepper quarters into 1/4" strips.

Grill buns cut-side-down for 1 minute, or until toasted.

Place one slice of eggplant, then mushroom, second eggplant slice, bell pepper strips and a few spinach leaves on bun bottom. Spread goat cheese on toasted bun top and place on stack. Serve warm or room temperature.
