ZUCCHINI SLICE - TM



This is a easy and tasty recipe that we have almost every couple of weeks. The recipe that follows is done with the Thermomix, but it can easily be adapted using a food processor and frying the onion and bacon on a frypan. Last time I made it I used a round pyrex casserole and the slices were a bit thicker than using the rectangular one. However, I had to keep it in the oven for a bit longer. If you want it to make it vegetarian, you could just omit the bacon and I really think that it would be as good. Delicious, easy and healthy.
