Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 0.75 cup semi-dried tomatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 5 large eggs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20x30cm (8x12 inch) rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let it sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Dice the onion finely and roughly chop the semi-dried tomatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and milk together until combined.
Add the self-raising flour, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring until smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped onion, semi-dried tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and feta cheese. If using fresh basil, chop it finely and fold it into the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the slice is golden on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.
Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a light green salad or on its own as a satisfying snack.
