Zucchini and Vegetable slice

• Pre-heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced
• Spray a 25cm square baking tray with olive oil
• Grate zucchini into a large bowl. Scrunch the grated zucchini to remove some of the water. Grate carrot and cheese, and add to the grated zucchini
• Slice spring onions, including both white and green portions, removing only the roots at the base, and roughly dice capsicum and add to the bowl with the grated vegetables and cheese, along with fresh or dried herbs (optional)
• Use a spoon to mix the vegetables and cheese together.
• In a separate, large mixing bowl, add wholemeal self-raising flour, eggs, milk, olive oil and pepper and mix until well combined, to form a batter
• Add the vegetable and cheese mixture to the batter, and mix until well combined
• Pour mixture into greased baking tray and smooth the top
• Place the tray in the preheated oven, and bake for approximately 1 hour or until lightly golden and the egg mixture is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the pan
• Using a knife, run it around the edges of the baking tray, place a chopping board or large plate (big enough to cover the top of the tray) and carefully turn the slice over to remove it from the tray
• Slice into 6 wedges
• Serve on its own or with a salad

• You can use any dried or fresh herbs you like
• Other vegetables that will work well in this recipe include mushrooms, spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. Chop them up into small pieces, and use them to replace either the zucchini or the carrot
• Try cooking the slice in a muffin tray and reduce the cooking time to around 30-40 minutes or until the top of the slice is golden and the egg mixture is cooked through. This will make approx. 12 pieces
