Ingredients
  

  • 2 Zucchini grated
  • 1 Carrot grated
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Brown/Yellow Onion diced
  • 2 Bacon Slices/Rashers diced
  • ½ Red Capsicum/Bell Pepper diced
  • 5 Eggs lightly whisked
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • 1 cup Self-Raising Flour
  • 1 ¼ cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Line a rectangular baking dish (approx. 8x12 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  • Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater.
  • Transfer the shredded zucchini onto a spotless kitchen towel and press firmly to extract any remaining liquid.
  • This step is essential to prevent the slice from becoming soggy.
  • Dice the onion, bacon, and red capsicum/bell pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced onion and red capsicum to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, cooked bacon mixture, and grated cheddar cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  • Sift the self-raising flour over the vegetable mixture and mix gently to combine.
  • Pour the egg and milk mixture over the vegetables and stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the slice is set and golden brown on top.
  • Allow the slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cut into squares or slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
