Cheesy Ham Zucchini Bake

 

3 small zucchini shredded

1 small onion chopped finely

3 slices cooked bacon chopped

1 cup chopped back bacon

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 cup all purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 cup vegetable oil

5 large eggs slightly beaten

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Shred the zucchini and place it in a strainer over a bowl. Set aside to rest. Prep the ingredients: chop the onion, chop the bacon and back bacon, grate the cheese and whisk the eggs. Set everything aside. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. First, lightly squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded zucchini. In a large bowl mix together the zucchini, onion, bacon, back bacon and shredded cheese. Stir in the flour mixture until well combined. Add the eggs and oil and mix well. Grease a baking dish with butter (8 x 8 works great). You can also use a cooking spray to grease it. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and smooth out the top. Bake for 45 minutes. The top should be golden. Serve right away (like zucchini puff)
