Zucchini Slice

I first saw this recipe in a ABA (breastfeeding) magazine. It was submitted by Alyssia from the Leeton ABA group. I imagine a lot of mums have to keep an eye on kids while cooking so you want a recipe that is simple and works every time. This is such recipe.

I love this recipe. I have made this over half a dozen times. You don't have to be precise with the ingredients. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare (slightly longer if you are a slow grater like me) and it tastes delicious. It tastes like a quiche -perfect for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner and something Lara can eat as well.

Ingredients:
370g zucchini (I use 3 medium to large zucchinis, it does not need to be precise)
1 large onion
3 rashers bacon (I put in 4 or 5 rashers sometimes depending on what is lying around)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I use Colby cheese)
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil or canola oil. I tried 1/4 cup oil and it's equally delicious)
5 eggs
salt and pepper to taste (I don't put extra salt just a little pepper)

What to do:
Grate unpeeled zucchini coarsely. Finely chop onion and bacon. Combine zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese, sifted flour, oil, and lightly beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a well-greased lamington tin (16cmx26cm base). Bake in moderate oven (I use 140-150C) for 30-40 minutes or until browned. cut into small squares. Freezes well. Can be eaten hot or cold. Serves 4-6.
