Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (300g) zucchini, grated
  • 1 medium (110g) brown onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup (60g) smoked turkey, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (120g) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup (125g) self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground white pepper

Instructions:

  1. Grate the 300g zucchini using the coarse side of the grater.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the 5 eggs and 120ml olive oil together until smooth.
  5. Stir in the 6g salt and 1g white pepper.
  6. Fold in the squeezed zucchini, 110g diced onion, 60g chopped smoked turkey, and 60g (half) of the grated cheddar cheese.
  7. Sift in the 125g self-raising flour and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 60g of grated cheese evenly across the surface.
  10. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is dark golden, the edges slightly pull away from the sides of the pan, and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Allow the slice to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out via the parchment paper and cutting into 8 squares.
