Ingredients

  • 4 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 1 tablespoon salt, or as needed

  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

  • 2 eggs

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (32 ounce) jar prepared marinara sauce

  • 1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, sliced

Directions

  1. Place eggplant slices in a large bowl in layers, sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes to drain. Rinse and dry on paper towels.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk together eggs, water, and flour in a medium bowl until batter is smooth. Dip eggplant slices in batter and fry in hot oil until golden brown, working in batches of 2 to 3 slices at a time. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. Mix together seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until well combined. Place 1/4 of the eggplant slices into a slow cooker and top with 1/4 of the bread crumb mixture, 1/4 of the marinara sauce, and 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers three more times.

  4. Cover and cook on Low until tender and flavors have blended, 4 to 5 hours.
