How to Make Basic Zucchini Slice

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 28cm x 18cm baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, grate 2 medium zucchini (approx. 500g) and place in a colander. Generously salt the zucchini and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. While the zucchini is draining, finely chop 1 medium onion (approx. 100g) and 2 cloves of garlic (approx. 2g).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (60g) grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup (30ml) milk, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the squeezed zucchini, onion, and garlic to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
  6. Optional: Add 100g diced chorizo sausage for extra flavor.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
