Zucchini & Vegetable Slice

Submitted by Sageca

"In Australia, 'slice' describes any food such as a cake or biscuit that is cut into squares in the tin or dish, and lifted out with a knife to serve. The best comparison is to call it a cake or a loaf, but it is definitively a savoury dish to be served with either hot vegetables or salad, or on its own as a snack, perhaps with your favorite sauce."

I wish I would have liked this more. I like everything in it but it just did not work for us. There were 6 of us eating it and no one really liked it. Maybe I will try it again and add bacon and corn as someone suggested in their review. Made for ZWT5 for the Cooks with Dirty Faces. Thanks

Thank you for posting this recipe it has become a staple meal in our house. I have made it many times now, somtimes changing the veges around and it always works out great. I like to add bacon, sweetcorn and finely sliced red capsicum as well. Having a food processor really helps speed up the prep!!

Sage, the thought of grating onions made me want to cry to I also cheated and used the food processor. It did the job super quick and this was in the oven in now time at all. I have my own very similar recipe, not yet posted: but not the same, my finished product is a mixture little bit dryer than yours and maybe it's the way I've been used to eating this, but I prefer it ever so slightly my old way. Having said that, this is a wonderful recipe that I shared with friends and they came back for seconds, without a problem :) Please see my rating system, a wonderful 5 stars for an easy, quick and tasty way to eat veggies... even my fussy 17 month old had several spoonfuls :) Thanks !

This is so simple and easy yet very tasty! I grated all of the vegetables in a food processor (ditto the cheese)...followed the recipe but realised just as I put the slice in the oven that I'd forgotten the parsley (ooops). Next time I'll be sure to add the parsley. Thanks Rita for another winner!
