Adding goat cheese to kebabs as soon as they come off the grill gives the cheese a chance to melt and seep into the crevices.

Yield: 5 servings

Preheat grill to medium-high and brush cooking grid with oil. Alternately stack zucchini and tomato pieces on several long metal skewers until all are used. Brush pieces with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill about 5-6 minutes until slightly charred on each side. Remove and immediately top with goat cheese and basil.
