Zucchini And Feta Slice

These easy-to-make Zucchini and Feta Slices are the perfect size for popping in the work or school lunchbox, for a quick and healthy lunchtime snack.

I like to bake healthy meals and snacks that I can pop in the freezer for an easy and quick lunch or dinner – and this Zucchini and Feta Slice definitely hits the mark!

This slice is packed with veggies, eggs, meat and cheese. You could easily add in extra veggies that you love, or leave out the ham if you’re wanting a vegetarian option.

I like to make this recipe in a Silicone Mini Loaf Pan because it’s non-stick, so there’s no need to worry about greasing the pan – plus clean-up is a synch! You could also make this recipe in a muffin tray.

What I love the most about this recipe, is what a delicious addition it makes to my work lunchbox or to the kids’ school lunchboxes. If prepared in the Silicone Mini Loaf Pan these slices fit perfectly into the bento lunchboxes.

They can be eaten hot or cold, and I find that if I get one out of the freezer in the morning, it’s perfectly defrosted by morning tea time to eat cold.

SILICONE MINI LOAF PAN

Silicone bakeware is a lightweight material that’s heat-resistant and can also be used in the fridge, freezer and microwave.

It’s very easy to use because there’s no need to grease the pan, and cleanup can be completed in minutes! The Silicone Mini Loaf Pan is especially great for making snacks suitable for lunchboxes, as it’s the ideal size!
