Zucchini Slice is an Australian classic, somewhere between a frittata and a savoury muffin. It's protein and veggie packed with egg, grated zucchini, cheese and bacon, then baked until golden. Delicious, easy and economical, it's great warm or cold. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or as a snack! - N x ❤️
