Zucchini - also known as courgette. This recipe is a great way to use up zucchinis when they're in season.
Self-Raising Flour - also known as self-rising flour. You can buy this from any major supermarket or make your own using plain flour.
Eggs - use large eggs (around 55g-60g each).
Oil - I recommend using vegetable oil in this recipe as it has a subtle flavour. You can use olive oil, however, this will change the taste of the dish.
Cheese - Any brand of Tasty or cheddar cheese works beautifully in zucchini slice.
Onion - Use a medium-sized brown onion.
Bacon - You can use any kind of bacon or ham for this recipe. Streaky bacon, middle bacon rashers, shortcut bacon or deli ham all work great. This is also a great way to use up any leftover Christmas ham (simply chop into small chunks).

Do you not cook the bacon first? Recipe doesn't say, but I thought you have to be wary with pork and cooking times?
This is the best zucchini slice recipe I've found. I added carrot and cherry tomatoes. My fussy 2 year old, who has refused zucchini slice for months, wolfed it down.

Hi Odette, the bacon is chopped very small so it will cook in the oven (otherwise you can use ham if you prefer). Oooh delicious! I love smuggling in a few extra veggies too! xx
