In a large bowl, combine the Panko, flour, parmesan, salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Take each slice of fresh mozzarella (or bocconcini balls) and coat it in the beaten egg, then dredge it through the bread crumb mix, pressing on both sides to adhere. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Fry the coated mozzarella, turning carefully once or twice until golden and the cheese begins to melt, but still retains its shape, about ⏱️ 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Serve warm atop the salad.
