A traditional slice that's good hot or cold. You can add garlic and/or herbs for extra flavour and omit the bacon if you prefer vegetarian.

Ingredients

1 tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
2 rashers bacon, rind removed and chopped
3 large zucchini (about 400g in total), trimmed and grated
60g pecorino cheese, grated
60g parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup self-raising flour
4 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C.
Melt the butter in a pan and gently cook the onion until it softens and becomes translucent. Add the bacon and cook for two more minutes. Remove and cool.
In a large bowl combine the bacon mixture, zucchini, cheeses and flour. Add the eggs and season to taste.
Grease a shallow tin or dish, such as a quiche dish, spoon in the mixture and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and spongy to touch.
