  Chop pecans finely, and then combine in a shallow bowl with the salt and pepper. Place the flour in another shallow bowl. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs together until well blended. First dip each zucchini slice into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip them into the egg, and finally into the finely chopped pecans.
