Savoury Slice
Packed full of veggies, this slice can be made in one bowl. We have been eating variations of this slice since my kids were toddlers and it continues to make a regular appearance in their school lunch boxes. It is a great alternative to sandwiches. You can easily put these into individual muffin or friand tins for a different shape ... but I have to say I'm not fond of washing these up after!
This a great recipe to get the kids into the kitchen and involved with helping. The zuchinni and carrot ends may be cut with a butter knife as well as the ham. Grating the veges and cheese is a bit trickier and maybe best left to older kids or the grown up in charge. You could also do this in a food processor or using a mandolin. We do most of the grating straight into the mixing bowl saving time!
Ingredients
1 zucchini
1 carrot
1 sweet potatoes
1/2 cup corn {we use frozen}
125 g (or 1 cup) tasty cheese
50 g ham
4 eggs
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup milk
1 onion
Equipment
1 large mixing bowl
grater
potato peeler
knife
spoon
chopping board
baking tray 20 x 30 cm (or 12 hole muffin tray)
baking paper
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F)
2. Peel the carrot, cut off one end and grate the carrot into the mixing bowl
3. Rinse the zuchinni, cut off one end and grate the zuchinni into the mixing bowl
4. Grate the cheese into the mixing bowl
5. Slice up the ham into small pieces and add to the mixing bowl
6. Add the corn into the mixing bowl
7. Add the flour, milk and eggs to the mixing bowl
8. Stir all the ingredients until well combined
9. Line a baking tray with baking paper
10. Pour the mixture into the baking tray and flatten with a wooden spoon.
11. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes
12. Remove and cool in tray
This scrummy savoury slice is also perfect for a picnic lunch or dinner! {We have friends who shared this particular slice with us at a lovely picnic dinner and it was a hit!}
You can double the recipe and freeze in slices or individual muffin portions. This defrosts easily and then makes school lunches even easier.
