The ingredients: Easy Zucchini Slice

With a base of cornflake or bread crumbs, this slice is packed with grated zucchini, a little onion, eggs, cream and cheese. Finally, there are slices of fresh tomato – which, once baked into the slice, really top off this savoury slice.

Tips for making Zucchini Slice

This slice recipe is one from my Mum’s collection that I’ve tweaked a little.

It’s great to make when zucchinis are in season and abundant during the summer and autumn months.

This easy Zucchini Slice is baked in a moderate oven and you’ll need a slice tin (approx 28 x 18cm).

Prepare the tin by greasing it and then add the crumb base. Simply tilt the tin to coat it in the crumbs.

Make sure you use a fine grater when preparing the zucchinis and onion. The cheeses can be grated using a regular grater.

Once you’ve measured out the zucchini, squeeze it to remove excess moisture before adding to the mixing bowl.

It’s then just a case of mixing all the slice ingredients together and gently pouring into the tin. Gently smooth out with a wooden spoon if necessary.

Top with the sliced tomato and into the oven it goes.

It’s really that easy!
