Zucchini Slice

Grated zucchini and carrots, combined with canned corn, and flavored with bacon, cheese, onion and garlic. Egg and self-rising flour help to bind it all together. The mixture is baked in a pie plate and sliced to serve.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium carrots, grated
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
• 3 slices bacon, diced
• 1/2 cup grated cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 4 eggs, beaten
• Self-rising flour

Directions:

Grate the zucchini onto a tea towel; squeeze out liquid. Put all vegetables, the bacon, cheese, parsley and garlic into a large bowl. Add the oil and eggs; mix well. Stir in enough flour to make a moderately stiff but still moist mixture. Bake in a greased 9-inch pie plate in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.

Number of Servings: 4

Notes from the Cook: By squeezing the juice from the grated zucchini, the baked Zucchini Slice doesn't become mushy.
