Courgette Slice Recipe - Life's Bounty

I love this Courgette Slice Recipe! It is a fantastic way to use up your glut of summer courgettes (or zucchini) – and tomatoes. You can vary the flavour by using different herbs, using your favourite types of cheeses and I added a few rashers of chopped bacon to mine as well.

You can freeze grated courgettes in small bags so that they are easy to use in winter – I squeeze them lightly in a cloth to remove most of the liquid and freeze them in 1 cup batches.

3 cups grated courgettes, squeezed to remove liquid
1 onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
fresh herbs – large handful of whatever you have
Extra cheese to sprinkle on top
Tomato slices to put on top

Mix courgettes, onion, cheese, eggs and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then add flour, pepper, baking powder and herbs and mix together well.

Spread mixture into a large baking dish. Top with sliced tomatoes and grated cheese. Bake at 200C for 30-40 mins until the top has browned slightly. Cut into slices and serve.
