ARUGULA WITH PROSCUITTO AND BURRATA
Steps:
- Put the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl or 2-cup glass measuring cup. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, making an emulsion. Place the arugula in a large salad bowl, pour on enough vinaigrette to moisten, and toss well.
- Distribute the arugula on 4 dinner plates. Place half a burrata, cut side down, in the middle of the plate and artfully arrange the prosciutto around it (I tear each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:
- Place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet; slide the dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl with the garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, brush with the olive oil mixture and top with the ricotta and mozzarella. Return the pizza to the oven; bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 6 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the arugula and shallot in a large bowl with the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizza with the arugula salad, prosciutto and shaved parmesan. Cut into slices.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful prosciutto will make all the difference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the mozzarella. Cook the slices in batches if necessary to prevent them from sticking together.
- Fry the mozzarella until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still gooey and melted on the inside.
- Serve the fried mozzarella immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, pesto, or balsamic glaze are all great options.
- If you don't have arugula, you can use another type of leafy green, such as spinach or kale.
- Prosciutto can be omitted if you prefer a vegetarian dish.
Conclusion:
Fried mozzarella with arugula and prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The crispy mozzarella, fresh arugula, and salty prosciutto are a perfect combination of flavors and textures. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
