Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour
• 5 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.333 cup milk
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent the slice from becoming too soggy.

Step 3

Dice the bacon and finely chop the onion. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon and onion until the bacon is crispy and the onion is translucent. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the grated zucchini, cooked bacon and onion mixture, cheddar cheese, and parsley.

Step 6

Add the gluten-free self-raising flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, ensuring there are no pockets of flour in the mixture.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the slice to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
