  3. In a large bowl combine zucchini, carrot, red capsicum, bacon and spring onions.
  4. Then add cheddar cheese, fresh parmesan cheese, self raising flour, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste, then mix to combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl add eggs and greek yoghurt and whisk together to combine.
  6. Add egg mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Spread mixture into baking dish and smooth the top. Place cherry tomatoes (6 - halved) in even intervals on top of the mixture, pushing into the mixture to keep them in place (if using).

Notes

  • *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • If you don't have bacon you could substitute ham.
  • Easily made into a vegetarian zucchini slice - just omit the bacon.
  • When adding the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, don't overmix. Just enough so that you don't see any streaks of flour.
  • Check if the slice is cooked in the middle the same way you would check a cake. Insert a toothpick or a skewer into the centre, if it comes out clean you're good to go.
  • Once this comes out of the oven, leave it to sit for a few minutes before you cut it. This will make it easier to slice.
  • The halved cherry/mini tomatoes are optional. You could put more on if you like, or leave them off altogether.
  • No self-raising flour? For every cup of plain flour (150g) add 2 teaspoon baking powder and sift well to combine.
