Make dressing
Whisk vinegar, shallot, 1 teaspoon Dijon, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. -
Bread mozzarella
Beat eggs in a shallow baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Place panko in a separate shallow baking dish. Dip mozzarella in egg, turning to coat. Remove from egg, letting excess drip back into bowl, and dredge in panko, pressing to help adhere. Dip back in egg, turn to coat, and dip back in panko. -
Fry mozzarella
Heat ½ cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. (Drop a few breadcrumbs into oil; it will sizzle when it’s hot enough). Add mozzarella and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes. Briefly transfer mozzarella to a paper towel lined plate to drain, then transfer to plates. -
Finish salad
Add arugula to dressing and toss to coat. -
Plate
Warm focaccia in the oven directly on the rack, about 5 minutes. Serve focaccia with salad, mozzarella and prosciutto. Enjoy!
