Eggplant Mozzarella Tower image

Culinary notes: Most eggplants produce a bitter tasting alkaloid. A method for removing this unwanted flavor is to sprinkle the slices with salt and let them rest in a colander for an hour. Afterwards. Rise the slices under cold water. Gently squeezing out the moisture pressing on the slices also collapses the eggplants air pockets reducing the absorption of oil during frying

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplant mozzarella tower didn't turn out well. The eggplant was too tough and the mozzarella didn't melt properly.
