Tips

  • With vegetables and wholemeal flour this recipe is an excellent source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer. 
  • Eggs provide protein. Protein is important for our cells to grow and repair.  
  • Corn and carrots provide folate. Folate supports your immune system. 

  • This is a good recipe for using zucchinis and carrots that are a bit soft. 
  • You can freeze chives and just snip off the amount you need for a recipe. No need to defrost.  
  • Buy flour in paper bags which can be recycled rather than the plastic jars. 

  • Eggs provide a low cost, easy to prepare source of protein.  
  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ vegetables to save money. 

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180oC (160oC fan-forced). Grease a 20cm x 30cm baking dish with oil.

Step 2
Beat the eggs and flour together until smooth.

Step 3
Add the zucchini, carrot, corn, peas and chives and mix thoroughly.

Step 4
Pour the mixture into the dish, and sprinkle with cheese.

Step 5
Bake for 40 minutes or until set and golden on top.

Serving suggestion: serve hot or cold with a green garden salad. 

Food safety: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, zucchini slice needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
