Made this the other day and have frozen it so I can just grab it out for an easy lunch or dinner. Very tasty and I will be making it again. I like Catt's idea of adding some cottage cheese or maybe some ricotta.

Best zucchini slice. I am amazed that no oil is being used. I love it and it's now my favorite zucchini slice recipe. I used 400g eggs and 1/2 cheese 1/2 cottage cheese in my second batch.

Yummy, all my friends have the recipe now and make it regularly. We divide it into 8 serves - more than enough.

Hi Jill, To make this dish gluten free you could replace the self-raising flour with the same amount of gluten free self-raising flour. This is usually a mix of rice, potato and other flours and behaves very similarly to ordinary wheat flour. You can buy it in most supermarkets. Let me know how it works out! -Anne
