Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 0.75 cup semi-dried tomatoes
• 1 small onion
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 5 large eggs
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20x30cm (8x12 inch) rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let it sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 3

Dice the onion finely and roughly chop the semi-dried tomatoes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and milk together until combined.

Step 5

Add the self-raising flour, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped onion, semi-dried tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and feta cheese. If using fresh basil, chop it finely and fold it into the mixture.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the slice is golden on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a light green salad or on its own as a satisfying snack.
