Arrange half of eggplant slices over celery root slices. Arrange basil leaves over eggplant. Repeat layering with goat cheese, mozzarella. and red peppers. Press firmly to compress layers. Repeat layering with remaining eggplant, celery root, then potato slices.

• Freeze terrine until firm on edges but not frozen through, about 2 hours. Slice terrine into eight 1-inch-thick slices (do not remove foil). Transfer slices to baking sheet and freeze 10 minutes.
• Lightly coat cut sides of terrine slices with flour. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add slices and cook until vegetables are heated through and cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes per side. Remove foil from slices. Arrange slices on plates and serve.
