Steps

1
Crumple a sheet of baking paper and line a 30 x 20 x 3cm baking pan, with overhang for easy removal. No need to grease the pan.
2
Set aside 1/4 cup cheese and some bacon for topping. Sauté the remaining bacon and cheese in the pan until light golden, adding the garlic towards the end.
3
Whisk eggs and pepper in a large bowl, then whisk in flour. Add grated zucchini, onion with all its juices, oil, sautéed bacon and cheese, and mix well with a wooden spoon.
4
Pour the mixture into the pan and top with reserved cheese and bacon. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 35 minutes, rotating at the 20-minute mark, until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then slice. Serve warm or cold.
