Ingredients

• 375 g zucchini
• 1 large onion

• salt, pepper

Method

1. Grate unpeeled zucchini coarsely.
2. Finely chop onion and bacon.
3. Lightly beat eggs.
4. Combine everything in a bowl.
5. Pour into well greased baking dish.
6. Bake in 180 ºC oven 30 to 40 minutes or until browned.

Best served: Hot or cold

Preparation Notes

I usually double this recipe as it fits into a baking dish nicely.

Bacon/ham is adjustable, depending on taste. I’ve also had good success with pancetta, guanciale and smoked salmon.

Caramalized onions/shallots work very well too.
