Zucchini and sweet potato slice

I saw this Zucchini and Sweet Potato Slice recipe pop up on taste.com.au and really wanted to try it. I love making zucchini slice and use my own recipe often for lunches, adding in whatever vegetables I have in the fridge at the time, I’ve made it at times with pumpkin, but never sweet potato.

This zucchini and sweet potato slice was a really lovely light meal, perfect for those very hot days to serve cold with salad.

I changed the recipe ever so slightly, I used 6 eggs (I didn’t want to waste 2 egg yolks, I know it’s probably healthier with less yolks) and added in some bacon as I had some that needed using up in the fridge. After trying the recipe it was slightly bland, I feel it needed seasoning, so will add salt and pepper and extra garlic next time.  I will also add a handful of feta just a bit of needed cheesy zing.

Fry onion and bacon until soft and browned.
