If desired, brush the remaining butter/oil mixture onto the inside slices of the bread.

Stack 2 slice of bread (side with the butter/oil mixture) with the fresh basil, arugula, slices of tomato, provolone cheese and the grilled eggplant.
7
Top with remaining slices of bread and lightly brush each sandwich with olive oil.

Place on grill for about 1 minute on each side (I had to press a frying pan on top of each sandwich to get the desired panini-effect).
