Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Shredded cheddar cheese about 60g / ½ cup, plus extra for topping
  • 1 zucchini thinly sliced
  • 3 slices of bacon
  • Mayonnaise
  • Cheese slices cheddar, Gouda, or your favourite
  • Salt & pepper
  • Optional: tomato slices salad leaves, avocado

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice the zucchini and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Preheat the oven to 230°C / 450°F.
  3. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread about 60g / ½ cup shredded cheddar into a rectangle.
  4. Arrange the zucchini slices on top, season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with a little more shredded cheese.
  5. Place the bacon next to the cheese base so everything cooks together.
  6. Bake for about 12 minutes, until the cheese is golden and crispy and the bacon is cooked.
  7. Let the cheddar-zucchini base cool for a few minutes so it firms up.
  8. Spread with mayonnaise, then add the cheese slices and crispy bacon.
  9. If using, top with tomato, salad leaves, or avocado.
  10. Fold it in half or enjoy it open-faced.
