1 onion(s) , medium finely chopped
3 streaky bacon , chopped into small pieces 
5 baby marrow(s) , grated and drained of excess liquid 
2 medium carrots , peeled and grated
180 ml corn kernels
150 g LANCEWOOD® Grated Cheddar
1 tbsp spring onion(s) , chopped
160 ml self-raising flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
5 large egg(s)
60 ml milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20 × 25 cm baking tin. 

2. Cook the base 
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bacon and sauté until the onion is soft and the bacon is cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly. 

3. Combine the vegetables and cheese 
In a large bowl, mix together the grated baby marrows, carrots, corn, grated cheddar cheese and spring onions. 

4. Add the bacon mixture 
Stir the cooled onion and bacon into the vegetable mixture until evenly combined. 

5. Add dry ingredients 
Sprinkle over the self-raising flour and baking powder, mixing well to distribute evenly. 

6. Mix the wet ingredients 
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. 

7. Assemble the slice 
Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir until fully combined. Spoon into the prepared tin and spread evenly. 

8. Bake 
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden, set in the centre and lightly crisp on top. 

9. Cool and store 
Allow to cool before slicing into squares. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
