Stephanie Alexander’s Zucchini Slice
I love this zucchini slice. It’s so tasty and it’s quick and easy to put together on the weekend and makes lunch a little bit more exciting. This slice also works really well poured into a muffin trays instead of a large tin and can be frozen for lunches or snacks. Enjoy!
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
500 g zucchini, coarsely grated and patted dry with paper towel
1 large onion, finely chopped
170 g grated cheese (I use 100g parmesan and 70g low fat cheddar)
1 cup wholemeal self raising flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, sliced
1
Preheat oven to 180°c and line a 25cm square tin with baking paper.
2
Combine all ingredients except tomato and mix well.
3
Pour into tin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
4
Top with tomato slices and bake for about 30mins or until firm.
5
Cut into squares (12-16) and serve hot or cold with a simple salad.
GF - substitute regular flour for gluten free flour. LF - parmesan cheese is low lactose and should be well tolerated.
