Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 2 strips of bacon (or ham, or omitted for a vegetarian version)
– 1 yellow onion
– 5 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend including feta or Parmesan)
– 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons baking powder)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3/4 pound (about 2 cups) shredded zucchini
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Making zucchini slice: is all about straightforward steps that lead to a delicious outcome. Begin by preheating your oven to 350ºF and lining an 11×7-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Grating and draining the zucchini is key to avoid a soggy result.
2-Finely dice: the onion and chop the bacon, then sauté them in butter over medium heat until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden. Set this aside to cool a bit while you handle the zucchini. In a large bowl, mix the sautéed bacon and onion with the eggs, cheese, flour, and olive oil until everything blends smoothly.
3-Once that’s done, add the drained zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and bake for 35-40 minutes until it’s firm and cooked through. Let it cool before cutting into squares for serving, which makes it great for meals on the go.
4-Start by grating the zucchini into a colander, sprinkle it with salt, and let it sit to draw out moisture. Squeeze out the excess to keep the texture just right. Meanwhile, sautéing the onion and bacon first enhances their flavor, as mentioned in the tips for success.
5-In your bowl, combine all ingredients thoroughly for an even mix. For added variety, think about including veggies like corn or red bell pepper. Once baked, this slice can be enjoyed hot or cold, fitting perfectly into a busy parent’s routine.
