I clipped this out of my magazine too! I had pre-sliced fresh buffalo mozzarella to use up so I finally tried it. I'm not big on frying food so I've never fried mozzarella before. It was very easy. The Mushrooms didn't make it into the meal, personal pref. I made a regular salad, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and topped with crisped up Prosciutto instead of salami and used Caprese dressing. I'm glad I tired this recipe once but I wouldn't make it again due to the nutrition factor.
