Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 2 strips bacon
– 1 yellow onion
– 5 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder as a substitute)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3/4 pound shredded zucchini
– Salt to taste
– Pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Getting started with this zucchini slice recipe: First, preheat your oven to 350ΒΊF and line an 11Γ7-inch baking dish with parchment paper to make cleanup easier. Finely dice the onion and chop the bacon, then cook them in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden, adding a savory depth to your dish.
2-Next, grate the zucchini and sprinkle it with salt, letting it drain in a colander to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial to avoid a soggy result, as mentioned in the recipe details. In a large bowl, mix the cooked bacon and onion with 5 large eggs, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of self-rising flour, and 1/4 cup of olive oil until well combined.
3-Then, add the squeezed zucchini to the bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring everything together for an even mix.
