Ingredients

5 eggs
150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour, sifted
375 g zucchini, grated, excess moisture squeezed out
1 large onion, finely chopped
200 g rindless bacon, chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
60 ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil

Method

Heat oven to 170°C fan-forced. Grease and line a 30 × 20 cm lamington pan.
Beat eggs in a large bowl until combined. Beat in the sifted flour until smooth.
Stir in zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese and oil.
Pour into the pan. Bake 30 minutes until cooked through and golden.
Cool slightly, then cut into squares. Eat warm or cold (lunchboxes love it).

Tip: No need to fry the bacon or onion first — they cook in the mix. Squeeze the zucchini well or the slice goes soggy. Taste.com.au’s most-popular recipe for a reason.
