1Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2Pour 1 tsp. oil into a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush both sides of eggplant with oil. Place on baking sheet, along with bell pepper halves, skin side up. Flatten peppers down using your palm.

3Broil 8 minutes, turning eggplant over halfway through. Remove eggplant and broil peppers an additional 7 minutes.
4Transfer bell peppers into a ziploc bag, seal and set aside for 15 minutes. When cool, peel off skin.
5Meanwhile, place bread slices under the broiler for about 2 minutes, turning once. In a medium bowl, toss arugula, 1 tsp. oil and pepper, set aside. Remove bread from broiler.

6To assemble sandwiches, top two slices of bread evenly with 1 Tbsp. pesto, 2 eggplant slices, 1 bell pepper half, another 2 eggplant slices and arugula.

7Top the other two slices of bread with 2 Tbsp. goat cheese. Sandwich both sides together and enjoy!
