Zucchini Slice

Zucchini Slice is an easy, healthy recipe. Similar to our Gluten Free Zucchini Slice and Zucchini Slice Muffins, each using different techniques in our Zucchini Recipes collection.

There is something so simple about the combination of eggs, bacon and zucchini, all rolled into a vegetable slice that big kids and little ones LOVE! 

To make the best zucchini slice ever, serve with a mustard yoghurt drizzle and watch the slice fly off the plate! 

What is the difference between this and other Zucchini Slice recipes?

Savory slices are the best as they can be made into a low carb slice with many options. On the blog we have our Gluten Free Zucchini Slice which is quite similar to a flourless zucchini quiche, the main difference being that vegetable slices generally don't have a crust whereas a quiche does. 

We also have our Zucchini Slice Muffins which we make in our regular muffin pan. An easy vegetable slice recipe which is vegetarian! 

Not to be outdone by the above is our Zucchini and Bacon Slice for which we use an altogether different technique and slice our zucchini as opposed to shredding it. 

How long does Zucchini Slice last?

Zucchini Slice will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. During this time you can eat the slice hot or cold. 

You can also freeze this slice. The best way to do that is portion it out and wrap those individual portion pieces in cling wrap, then place in the freezer. 

Can you reheat Zucchini Slice?

This slice is perfect to serve hot or cold. If you want to reheat it, simply place it on a plate, cover with cling wrap and heat for 2 minutes in the microwave. Test it and continue to heat for a couple of minutes if it is not heated all the way through. 

You can also reheat your Zucchini Slice in the oven, making it a perfect choice for either work lunches, lunch boxes or a quick and easy dinner recipe! 

How do you cut Zucchini Slices? (for making slice) 

To prepare your zucchini to use in this recipe, we start but cutting the top and tail end off. Then we use our food processor with our 'shred' blade to cut the zucchini into fine slices. 

Next the zucchini then has any extra water squeezed out so that the slice is not watery. I recommend using smaller zucchinis as they have less water than medium or large ones. This makes them perfect for a recipe like this.

Zucchini Slice Pro tips:

These additional tips are so that you can master this recipe from the 1st time you make it:

• use the coarse not fine blade on the shredder
• you can use a slice tray, but the slice won't be as high/deep as from a baking dish
• this slice will take longer to cook than you think (as it is deep)
• the size of your baking tray will make a difference. Larger will result in a less thick slice. 
• wait for the slice to cool before cutting (so much easier) 

Healthy, gourmet, zucchini and bacon, however you want to say it, this slice tastes and smells SO amazing!
