4 oz goat cheese
1 1/2 oz parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with garlic.
Brush over bell pepper, squash, eggplant and onion pieces.
Mix 4 tablespoons olive oil with salt and pepper.
Add tomatoes and basil, Toss lightly.
Grill pepper, squash, eggplant and onion on preheated grill.
