Ingredients:
- 2 Large zucchinis, grated
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your preferred choice)
- 5 eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp Exotic Bazaar’s Lebanese Za'atar spice blend
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 bacon rashes sliced (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a baking dish with baking paper.
-
Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt to help release excess moisture. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then press down with your hands or a clean cloth to remove as much liquid as possible.
-
Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, diced onion, self-raising flour, grated cheese, and Exotic Bazaar's Lebanese Za'atar. If you're adding bacon, mix that in as well.
-
Add the wet ingredients: Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the zucchini mixture along with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Bake the slice: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.Sprinkle Za'atar over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top and set in the middle.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the slice to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a Homemade Harissa Chips or a fresh salad on the side.
With Exotic Bazaar’s Lebanese Za'atar, this zucchini slice is more than just a meal—it’s a taste journey! 🌿 Enjoy the tangy and aromatic flavours that will have everyone asking for seconds.
