I love a quick and easy slice, that is tasty and nutritious. Mostly I make zucchini slice or the quinoa tuna bake from our website, but I wanted to try something a bit different, and this is what I came up with. It was super tasty, my kids ate it (which is rare) and I had enough left over for my lunch the next day as well #winning.
This would be great hot or cold, so perfect for school lunches or picnics.

This was a last minute tea! Was awesome. Very tasty!
Made these for lunch in a muffin pan. They were just too salty to eat. Doesn’t need the salt with stock paste as well. So easy to make though and will try them again.
Does it taste ok without the bacon? Would that help with saltiness factor?
Hi Julia,
It would take some of the saltiness away but you could try something else that has a similar taste or slat factor.

Made these tonight and hubby says best slice yet.
These will be a regular. Just added in some spring onion too.
Oh yum, so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review :)
Can this recipe be frozen?
Yes, I freeze it all the time :)
I love this slice, my kids won’t eat a zucchini slice but love this one. I’ve shared it with so many friends and family :)
Hi. I’m making this for a function and I would like to know how many people it serve?
You get 9 generous dinner-sized serves from this. You could however get a lot more if you were cutting it up into smaller cocktail sized portions.
Love this recipe! So easy & tasty! Goes really quick in our household
So glad you love it :)
