Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray (approx. 20x30 cm) with baking paper.
  2. Add 150 g cubed cheddar or tasty cheese to the clean, dry mixing bowl. Grate 7 sec / Speed 8. Transfer the grated cheese to a separate bowl and set aside.
  3. Add 400 g roughly chopped zucchini to the mixing bowl. Chop 10 sec / Speed 4. Transfer the chopped zucchini to a fine-mesh sieve or colander and press out any excess moisture. Set aside.
  4. Add 1 onion, cut into quarters, and 1 garlic clove to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
  5. Add 200 g chopped bacon to the mixing bowl (no additional oil is needed as the bacon will render its own fat). Sauté 3 min / 120°C / Speed 1. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  6. Add the reserved strained zucchini, reserved grated cheese, 150 g self-raising flour, 60 g olive oil, 5 eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix 15 sec / Reverse / Speed 3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
  7. Mix again 15 sec / Reverse / Speed 3 to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined into a smooth batter.
  8. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes (or 25-30 minutes if using muffin or mini loaf trays), or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  9. Let the zucchini slice rest in the tray for 5-10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving warm or cold. Last 1-2 min: 90°C | Speed 1-2 (Reverse) to settle and prevent sticking.
