Zucchini Slice...........

Zucchini Slice

375g zucchini, grated (I use approx 3 medium or 2 large)

1 large carrot, grated 

1 large onion, grated

3 bacon rashers, chopped 

1 cup grated cheese

440gram tin corn kernels

1 cup SR Flour 

½ cup oil

5 eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine zucchini, carrot, onion, bacon, cheese and corn, add flour, oil and

lightly beaten eggs, salt and pepper.

Pour into greased lamington dish 16cm x 26cm. Can use bigger size just ends up thinner.

Bake in a moderate oven 30-40mins until browned.

Great to make when you have lots of eggs and can be cut into slices, frozen

and reheated.
Yummy hot or cold!

EDIT Self-raising flour is a combination of plain flour and various raising agents. These include sodium and calcium phosphates, and sodium carbonate. 
While it is preferable to use a pre-mixed product, an approximation of self-raising flour can be achieved by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 250 grams of plain flour.


Bacon rashers could be called bacon slices in your country

An online group had a swap and the theme was Leanne's House............I had to make for Lizzie and this is what I sent to Lizzie......I know she likes reproduction fabrics so i used that in the border............

......I have had this stitchery in a folder from a magazine for quite awhile...........think it was originally in Country Threads and finally have got to stitch it.........I pulled it over an art canvas and loved making

it..........thanks Lizzie for sending me a photo of what I sent because I forgot to take one before posting.....
