Ingredients
- 2 medium (grated) zucchini
- 300 grams (grated) pumpkin
- 150 grams (diced) ham
- 1 small (finely chopped) onion
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 150 milliliters milk
- 150 grams (grated) cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Grate the zucchini and pumpkin. Squeeze out excess moisture from both using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated pumpkin, diced ham, and chopped onion.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil. Pour the wet mixture over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
Step 6
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped parsley (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool slightly in the dish before cutting into squares or slices.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. This slice can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for a longer shelf life.
