Method
5 steps · about 65 min- Heat the oven to 180°C conventional (160°C fan). Line a 20 × 30 cm baking tin with baking paper and lightly oil the paper. Grate the zucchini, then squeeze it firmly in a clean tea towel, a handful at a time, until no more liquid runs out.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, canola oil, iodised salt and pepper. Stir in the squeezed zucchini, carrot, frozen corn, spring onions, parsley and 100 g of the cheddar until evenly mixed.
- Sift in the self-raising flour and fold gently until no dry patches remain; do not overmix. Spread the mixture evenly in the tin and scatter the remaining 20 g cheddar over the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden, puffed and set in the centre; a knife inserted in the middle should come out clean with no wet egg. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes so it firms up, then cut into 12 pieces.
- Just before serving, toss the cos lettuce and tomatoes with the lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Serve two pieces of slice per person with the salad. Leftover slice keeps covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and is good cold.
