A traditional English Zucchini Slice

Best paired with a slice of Irish fairy bread

I kid, of course.

Zucchini Slice is an Australian baked egg-and-whatever-else-ya-got meal. Basically a quiche. Always wanted to make one but I don't buy eggs but once a year. Well, I had some left over and decided to give it a try, which took almost no effort at all.

I freeballed it pretty uncharacteristically with the recipe, but after reading some online, the one that I made was:

Combine:

1x grated and squeeze-dried large Zucchini,

a handful of carrots,

Half a large onion,

1x red bell pepper,

some pre-cooked bacon

And a small block of good quality cheddar cheese

(Except for the zucchini, I jist threw all the veggies in my food processor and ran them until they were coarse.)

1/3c of milk (I used almond milk because it's all I had)

6 large eggs

And 120g of all purpose flour with 1.5tsp of baking powder for fluffiness.

Baked for 50min at 350°F in a 8x13 pan on the middle rack.

'Slice' made me think it was zucchini bread. Disappointed 😞. Also dont the English call them "marrow"?

No, but they (we? I'm a citizen now) don't call it zuchinni either. It's courgette

Well according to the internet the main difference is ripeness. https://www.askdifference.com/courgette-vs-marrow/

Garden zukes have arrived. The first zucchini slice was a hit, and I'm making another for the in-laws this weekend. I used this recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/zucchini-slice/
