Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 2 strips bacon (optional, can substitute with ham or omit for a vegetarian option)
– 1 yellow onion
– 5 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or alternatives like feta or Parmesan)

Instructions
1-To start: preheat your oven to 350ΒΊF and line an 11Γ7-inch baking dish with parchment paper. This step helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking for your flavorful zucchini slice for any meal. Finely dice the onion and bacon, then melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat to sautΓ© them until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden.
2-Next, grate the zucchini into a colander, sprinkle it with salt, and let it drain to remove excess moisture a crucial tip to avoid sogginess. Squeeze out the water before adding the zucchini to a large bowl with the bacon, onion, eggs, cheese, flour, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, stir everything together, and pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
3-Bake for 35-40 minutes until the slice is firm and cooked through, then let it cool before cutting into squares. This method not only creates a tasty zucchini slice but also allows for variations, like using flax eggs for a vegan option. For more baking tips, explore our Best Quiche Recipes for similar ideas.
