Directions:

  1. In a food processor, finely chop the pecans.

  6. For the egg wash, whisk the egg and milk together in another shallow bowl; set aside.
  7. Season both sides of the cheese slices with salt and pepper.
  8. Dredge each slice in the flour, tapping off any excess, then dip each slice in the egg wash, allowing the excess to drip off; then dredge the slices in the pecan meal to coat both sides.

  19. Toss the spinach with the caramelized onion/honey dressing and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
