OK, so I do not care for Rachel Ray, I find her annoying and her show, too. However, some of the recipes she does are awesome! I made this one for dinner tonight, and the kids actually ate it!

Ingredients
1/4 cup flour, for dredging
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup finely ground nuts, such as almonds, walnuts or pecans
2 tablespoons chopped herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or basil
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 beefsteak tomato, sliced
Salt and ground black pepper
8 slices of your favorite cheese, such as Gruyere, Havarti or provolone (I used provolone and colby jack)

Set up 3 plates or shallow bowls and fill one with the flour, one with the eggs and one with the ground nuts and herbs.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Season each slice of tomato with salt and pepper, and sandwich between 2 slices of cheese. Carefully toss each bundle in the flour, then the egg and then the ground nuts to coat.
Place each bundle into the skillet and cook until the nuts are golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

I added in a few fresh basil leaves between my chese and tomatos, as well.
