This eggplant Parmesan is layered and baked in the slow cooker. The eggplant is first coated with crumbs and sautéed. This cooking method is a good alternative to the oven. It's especially good for the summertime because the slow cooker doesn't heat the kitchen up as the oven does. I decided to take all of the amazing flavors from eggplant parm, take out the frying part, take out the pasta part, add a slow cooker part and keep the delicious parts like tomatoes and eggplant and CHEESE.
