Equipment

  • a 15-inch baking pan

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound zucchini, (peel, grate, and squeeze out excess liquid)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 garlic, (minced)
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • cups diced yellow onion
  • 4 thick-slices of bacon or bacon rasher
  • 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • teaspoon kosher salt , (or more according to your liking)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 360°F.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the flour then stir until combined and smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and gently stir to combine.

Notes

Self-raising flour. You can substitute it with gluten-free or regular all-purpose flour with ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder. 
To prepare the baking dish. You can grease the baking dish with butter and/or line it with baking paper. 
To prevent mushy zucchini slices. Make sure to squeeze out excess liquid from grated zucchini. You can use a salad spinner and/or a clean kitchen towel.
Storing. Cool the zucchini slice down and do not leave the leftovers to sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or sealed ziplock bag. Properly stored, the leftovers will last up to 5 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. 
Reheating. Reheat the zucchini slice in the microwave for a minute or longer, or bake it in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Cover the zucchini if baking in the oven.
