Ingredients

• 3 zucchinis, grated
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 3 bacon rashers, diced
• 6 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1½ cups light cheese, grated
• 1 onion, diced

1. Prepare: Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20 × 30 cm slice pan with baking paper.
2. Cook the bacon and onion: Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan over high heat. Add the bacon and onion and cook, stirring often, for about 7 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the onion has softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Make the mixture: Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until combined. Add the self-raising flour and mix until smooth. Add the zucchini, carrot, cheese and bacon mixture, then stir until well combined.
4. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden and set.
5. Serve: Allow the slice to cool slightly before cutting into portions. Serve with a fresh salad.
