- In a small bowl add eggs and greek yoghurt and whisk together to combine.4 eggs, 170 g greek yoghurt
- Add egg mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spread mixture into baking dish and smooth the top. Place cherry tomatoes (6 - halved) in even intervals on top of the mixture, pushing into the mixture to keep them in place (if using).6 cherry tomatoes - halved
- Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until golden and set in the middle.
Notes
- If you don't have bacon you could substitute ham.
- Easily made into a vegetarian zucchini slice - just omit the bacon.
- When adding the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, don't overmix. Just enough so that you don't see any streaks of flour.
- Check if the slice is cooked in the middle the same way you would check a cake. Insert a toothpick or a skewer into the centre, if it comes out clean you're good to go.
- Once this comes out of the oven, leave it to sit for a few minutes before you cut it. This will make it easier to slice.
- The halved cherry/mini tomatoes are optional. You could put more on if you like, or leave them off altogether.
- No self-raising flour? For every cup of plain flour (150g) add 2 teaspoon baking powder and sift well to combine.
