Zucchini Slice
Zucchini Slice is one of those dependable savoury bakes that works just as well for lunch as it does for a picnic, brunch table or simple family dinner. Kathleen Ryan’s recipe from the Tully Family Cookbook combines grated zucchini, onion, bacon, cheddar cheese, self-raising flour, oil and eggs before baking everything in a lamington tin until golden. Served with salad and fresh bread, it becomes an easy meal with very little fuss. Cut into small squares, it also suits lunchboxes, morning tea, high tea platters or casual entertaining.
