time needed: 8 mins prep, roughly 35 mins cooking.
- four zucchinis, washed and grated (skin on)
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used jarlsberg)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 3 slices chopped bacon (if you’re not a vegetarian)
- 3/4 chopped onion
- salt + pepper
- any herbs or veg you want to use up
- a tiny bit of butter
- Coat your large baking dish with butter.
- Put everything in. Mix with your hands until smooth.
- Bake at 180 C (350 F) until crispy on top. Serve.
