Ingredients:

Serving

3 large zucchini , cut into planks about 1/4-inch thick
1 1/2 cups dried italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pine nuts, chopped fine
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
salt
pepper
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh mint

Directions:

Crust - Coat the zucchini very lightly but just adding the flour to a baggie and then shaking to give the zucchini a light dusting of flour.
In a small food processor chop the nuts and mix with the bread crumbs. Set up a small breading station - 2 pans. One with the egg and another with the bread crumbs.
Dredge - Dip each of the zucchini planks coated in the egg and then into the bread crumb and nut mixture.
Saute - Heat a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Saute the zucchini until golden brown on each side.
Sauce - As the zucchini cook, make the sauce - In a small sauce pan on medium low heat add the cream and cook for 3-4 minutes, letting it reduce just a bit. Then add the cheese and cook another 3-4 minutes. Add the mint and black pepper right before you serve it.
Drizzle the sauce over the zucchini and serve. Really good and really just a bit different. I promise you will love it.
