ABBREVIATED RECIPE

Sauté bacon in the oil, add garlic towards end. Whisk eggs, whisk in flour until lump free. Mix in everything else with wooden spoon. Spread in 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8") lined pan, sprinkle with cheese and bacon, bake 35 min.

FULL RECIPE

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced).

Crumple a sheet of baking paper in your hands then place in a 30 x 20 x 3cm (12 x 8") lamington pan (or thereabouts) with overhang for lifting the slice out. No need to grease the pan - the mixture will weigh the paper in place.

Set aside a little bit of cheese and bacon to sprinkle the surface.

Sauté bacon - Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the remaining bacon and stir for 2 minutes or until very light golden. Add the garlic and stir for just 10 seconds, then remove from the stove and set the pan aside to cool slightly.

Make batter - In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the flour until lump free. Add the zucchini, onion (including all grating juices), oil and bacon from the pan and cheese. Switch to a wooden spoon and mix until combined.

Pour into the lined pan, then push the mixture into the corners and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and raw bacon.

Bake for 35 minutes, rotating at the 20 minute mark, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then lift out using the overhang paper. Cool for another 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
