  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon butter

– 2 strips of bacon

– 1 yellow onion

– 5 large eggs

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder)

– 1/4 cup olive oil

– 3/4 pound (approximately 2 cups) shredded zucchini

Instructions

1-Getting this zucchini slice right starts with simple steps that anyone can follow. Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F and lining an 11Γ—7-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. This setup ensures even baking and a clean finish.

2-Next, finely dice the onion and chop the bacon, then sautΓ© them in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden. Meanwhile, grate the zucchini and sprinkle it with salt, letting it drain in a colander to remove excess moisture this step is key to avoiding a soggy result.

3-In a large bowl, combine the sautΓ©ed bacon and onion with 5 large eggs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup self-rising flour (or the substitute), 1/4 cup olive oil, and the drained zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything thoroughly.

4-Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until it’s firm and cooked through. Let it cool before cutting into squares for serving this whole process takes about 1 hour, making it ideal for busy days.
