Zucchini Slice

A traditional slice that's good hot or cold. You can add garlic and/or herbs for extra flavour.

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

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 2 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.
Serves 4-6.

Serve with a glass of: semillon or light chardonnay.

TIP - Grated zucchini is a good, crunchy addition to salads, or can be lightly sauteed in olive oil and garlic as a side dish.
