Zucchini Slice
Recipe video above. This is how I make Australia's favourite savoury slice. It is a cross between a frittata, quiche and muffin. Great breakfast, lunch or snack, it's high in protein, veggie quota plus of course cheese!Most recipes just stir raw chopped onion and uncooked bacon into the egg mixture. But I'm not a fan of raw onion bits, so I grate it instead - the shredded onion cooks through perfectly in the oven. As for the bacon, it's gotta be sautéed in the oil! Not only does it make the bacon yummier, the oil gets bacon flavour which is then mixed into the batter to make sure the slice doesn't dry out. Enjoy this warm or cold, great either way!UPDATE: To make it gluten-free, use GF flour. To make it lower-carb, replace the self raising flour with 1 1/4 cups almond meal and 1 teaspoon baking powder.

FULL RECIPE
4
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced).
5
Crumple a sheet of baking paper in your hands then place in a 30 x 20 x 3cm (12 x 8") lamington pan (or thereabouts) with overhang for lifting the slice out. No need to grease the pan - the mixture will weigh the paper in place.
6
Set aside a little bit of cheese and bacon to sprinkle the surface.
7
Sauté bacon - Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the remaining bacon and stir for ⏱️ 2 minutes or until very light golden. Add the garlic and stir for just ⏱️ 10 seconds, then remove from the stove and set the pan aside to cool slightly.
8
Make batter - In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the flour until lump free. Add the zucchini, onion (including all grating juices), oil and bacon from the pan and cheese. Switch to a wooden spoon and mix until combined.

Pour into the lined pan, then push the mixture into the corners and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and raw bacon.
10
Bake for ⏱️ 35 minutes, rotating at the ⏱️ 20 minute mark, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
11
Cool in the pan for ⏱️ 10 minutes then lift out using the overhang paper. Cool for another ⏱️ 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
