Ingredients
3medium zucchinis (approx. 500 g), grated and squeezed dry
1small brown onion, finely diced
1cup frozen/tinned corn kernels
1/2cup diced pineapple (well-drained tinned pieces or fresh)
200greduced-salt shortcut bacon or leg ham, finely diced
1 cup grated light cheese
1tsp dried oregano
5large eggs, lightly beaten
1cup self-raising flour, sifted
1/4cup vegetable oil
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp cracked black pepper
2tbsp pizza sauce (swirled through the top)
Extra pineapple pieces for decoration
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan forced.
- Grease and line a 20 cm x 30 cm rectangular lamington or slice tin with baking paper.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean tea towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. This is the secret to a firm, non-soggy slice!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, onion, corn, pineapple, ham, and half of the cheese.
- Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate jug, whisk together the eggs and oil.
- Add the flour to the veggie mixture, then pour in the egg mixture.
- Stir until everything is just combined, don't overmix, or the slice will be tough!
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top.Swirl the pizza sauce over the top, and add pieces of pineapple for decoration.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the slice is firm to the touch and the cheese is deep golden brown.
- Allow the slice to stand in the tin for at least 15 minutes before lifting it out and cutting into squares.
- Serve warm with a side salad, or cold as a snack. It’s a tropical, cheesy Aussie favourite that’s even better the next day!
