Ingredients

8 eggs
1 cup smooth ricotta
1 medium onion, coarsely grated
500g zucchini, coarsely grated
250g thick cut bacon, finely diced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
½ cup parmesan or tasty cheese, grated
½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 cup self-raising flour
Salt & pepper to taste

Kicking Sauce

1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp hot English mustard
1 tsp nigella seeds

Directions

Preheat an oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan. Grease and line the bottom of a 26cm x 20cm baking dish.
Add eggs and ricotta to a large bowl and whisk gently until smooth and well combined. Add the zucchini, onion, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese to the egg mixture and stir well. Add the flour and stir again until the flour is incorporated. Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared pan and place in the oven for 50 minutes or until set. Ensure the eggs are completely cooked through.
Meanwhile, add the Greek yoghurt, hot English mustard, and nigella seeds to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside in the fridge.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve with a dollop of sauce on top.
