AUSTRALIAN ZUCCHINI SLICE

A beloved Australian staple, a zucchini slice is an eggy, frittatalike lunchbox staple that's baked until it's firm enough to slice and eat out of hand. Most versions include bacon, but in his book, "Snacks for Dinner" (Harper Wave, 2022), Lukas Volger substitutes a combination of olives and pickled peppers for a deeply salty bite without any meat. You can serve this hot, warm or at room temperature. Or make it a day or two ahead, store it covered in the fridge, then let it come to room temperature before serving so the texture is supple and soft.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and brush an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with olive oil. Line pan with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches overhanging on the sides of the pan.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add leek, and cook until softened and golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, olives, pickled peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the remaining 1/3 cup oil; let mixture cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until combined. Stir eggs into leek mixture, then stir in zucchini, cheese and cilantro. Sprinkle flour, baking powder and remaining salt over the wet ingredients. Mix gently until smooth.
  • Scrape mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake until center is set and lightly golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes if using a metal pan and 40 to 50 minutes if using a glass dish. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly. Cut into small squares and serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with flaky sea salt and chile flakes, if you like.

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for the pan
1 large leek, white and light green parts, halved and thinly sliced into half moons (1 1/2 cups)
4 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/3 cup coarsely chopped green olives
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pickled peppers (such as jalapeños and pepperoncini)
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), more as needed
5 large eggs
2 small zucchini, about 14 ounces, grated (2 1/2 cups)
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, basil or dill (or a combination)
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Flaky sea salt and chile flakes, for serving (optional)

  • Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Coat with cooking spray (even when lined with parchment, I’ve found that the eggs occasionally stick).
  • Using a box grater, shred the zucchini. Line a bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place the zucchini inside. Twist it up to close, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set the zucchini aside until ready to use.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the bacon (no need to for oil) over medium-low heat, about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until soft.

  • Line a 8" x 12" (30cm x 20cm) or similar deep-sided baking tray or baking dish with baking paper.
  • Grate the zucchini. Place on sheets of kitchen paper and blot with more kitchen paper to remove excess water from the zucchini.
  • Pan fry the onions and bacon together in a little olive oil for about 10 minutes. At the same time, pre-heat the oven to 180C/355F.
  • Meanwhile, slowly whisk the flour into the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Don't overmix - mix just enough for the flour to be all incorporated.
