My friend Genie passed away three years ago, and I miss her every day. This was her famous zucchini slice.
- 2 cups grated zucchini (or a mix of grated zucchini and other vegetable – I used 1½ cups of zucchini and ½ cup of grated carrot)
- 1 cup of grated cheese (I used a mix of Provolone Piccante and King Island cheddar)
- 5 large (59g) eggs
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 3 rashers of bacon
- ½ cup light olive oil
1. Dice the bacon and panfry until crisp. Preheat oven to 175C with fan.
2. Place all the ingredients, including the cooked bacon and eggs, in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Season with a little salt and a generous grinding of pepper.
3. Turn the mixture into a lined tin – I used a 31 x 14cm biscotti pan, but you could also use a 20cm square or a large loaf, or even several smaller tins (just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly). Bake for 40 – 50 minutes until firm and golden brown.
