Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g bacon
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small onion
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150 g cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 100 ml milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 30cm baking dish with parchment paper.
Dice the bacon into small pieces and sauté in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Grate the zucchini and carrot, finely chop the onion, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cooled bacon pieces, flour, baking powder, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the vegetable and bacon mixture, and stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles to serve.
