Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (180ºC fan forced).
Whisk eggs in a medium jug, season with black pepper and set aside.
Squeeze grated vegetables to remove some of the excess moisture.
In a large bowl combine all ingredients except tomato. Add eggs and stir mixture until well combined.
Spray a large baking dish with oil. Pour in zucchini mix and flatten with a spoon. Cover with tomato slices arranged in a single layer.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
Rest in the pan for 10 minutes before dividing into 6 pieces and cutting into slices. Serve with a green side salad.

Variation: Substitute other vegetables including baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, chopped asparagus or mushrooms, grated parsnip or potato and add fresh parsley, basil or dill.

Serving Suggestion: Serve hot or cold, as a healthy favourite for toddlers, children and adults alike. Great to take on a picnic, served as a finger food cut into small squares.

Healthy tip!

Try mustard instead of mayonnaise to add extra flavour to your salads and sandwiches.

Would it be possible for a gluten free substitute?

The sweet potato really made this dish. Beautiful. I used a cup of ricotta instead of cheese and one fresh cob of corn instead of frozen corn. I made a non vegetarian zucchini slice at the same time for the bacon lovers in the family and this one is actually nicer! Thank you!
