- 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.

- 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.
