  1. Combine oil and minced thyme, basil, and parsley.

  3. Rinse and core tomatoes, then trim thin slices off tops and bottoms.
  4. Cut yellow tomatoes into 24 equal rounds; cut red tomatoes into 12 equal rounds.
  5. Cut cheese into 12 equal rounds.
  6. Lay tomato slices in a 10- by 15-inch pan.
  7. Drizzle with herb oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  8. Lightly oil a barbecue grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or medium-high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds).
  9. Lay eggplant on grill; close lid on gas barbecue. Cook eggplant, turning once, until soft when pressed, 5 to 7 minutes total.
  10. Let cool.
  11. For each tortino, stack 1 slice each yellow tomato, eggplant, mozzarella, and red tomato, then top with 1 more slice each eggplant and yellow tomato. Set stacks on a platter. Reserve 2 teaspoons of pan juices from tomatoes; use remainder in other salads.
  12. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, boil vinegar until reduced to 2 tablespoons, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring as it nears the end of cooking.
  13. Mix the reserved tomato juices with vinegar and drizzle over tortinos.
  14. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
