Zucchini Slice
This dish, which originates from Australia, is a cross between a fritata and a quick bread. The batter is made with shredded zucchini, eggs, flour, olive oil and baking powder, which gives it a light and fluffy texture. This version also includes onions, bacon and goat cheese.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Line a pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Coat with cooking spray (even when lined with parchment).
Using a box grater, shred the zucchini. Line a bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place the zucchini inside. Twist it up to close, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set the zucchini aside until ready to use.
In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the bacon (no need to for oil) over medium-low heat, about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until soft.
Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the olive oil. Season with black pepper and whisk well to combine. Toss in the sautéed bacon and onions, and the reserved zucchini.
To the bowl, add the flour and baking powder. Continue to mix until it looks like pancake batter.
Pour into your lined baking pan. Sprinkle the goat cheese over the top.
Bake until the filling is set, about 50 minutes. The top and bottom should be deep golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking time for even browning.
Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
