Classic Zucchini Slice

Classic Zucchini Slice is a savory, veggie-packed bake with cheese, raisins, and herbs—easy, versatile, and ideal for any meal.

Ingredients
  

For the Base:

  • 2 cups self-raising flour or all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup grated zucchini squeezed dry
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese or any melty cheese
  • ½ cup golden raisins or sultanas
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Batter:

  • 2 large eggs
  • cup milk or buttermilk for tang
  • ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini and squeeze out all moisture using a towel or cheesecloth to avoid a soggy slice.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, zucchini, cheese, raisins, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, and olive oil in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Add wet to dry. Fold gently until just combined. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
  • Spread into the pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temp.
