    Meanwhile, transfer the breadcrumbs to a plate. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
    Coat each cheese slice in breadcrumbs, dip in the egg, then coat again with breadcrumbs; place on a sheet of wax paper.
    In the same skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 4 cheese slices and cook until crisp, about 1 minute on each side; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining cheese slices.
    Add the mixed greens, vinegar, salami and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and toss.
    Place 2 mozzarella steaks on each of 4 plates and serve with the salad.
