Awesome Zucchini Slice

That beautiful smell that wafts over the divider and makes your simple sandwich or salad look pretty boring. Well, I was on the other side of that today…Was my lunch that was causing the envy. It was this slice that did it. It looks and smells beautiful, and better yet, you can make a batch on a Sunday afternoon and have yummy lunch all week as it keeps really well. I prefer it warmed but you can also enjoy it cold.

This recipe is a good one. Tried and tested many times, you really can’t go wrong. A friend of mine who makes this often likes to cook the mixture in a muffin pan, making zucchini slice muffins, which are great for throwing into a lunchbox. You can also customize it with extra vegies (swap half the zucchini for grated carrot or throw in some corn kernels). Whatever you like!

To start, throw the onion and bacon into a pan and saute until the onion softens.

Mix the flour, zucchini, beaten eggs, cheese, oil and salt and pepper with the bacon and onion. Spread mixture into a greased baking dish and bake until golden browned and firm to the touch.
