ingredients for easy zucchini slice: eggs, cream, flour, baking powder, zucchinis, carrots, bacon, onion and cheese

flour- I use plain, but you can swap for rice flour, I have before, it just makes for a slightly gritty texture. Gluten-free mixes from the supermarket work well.
eggs- these are "large eggs" or the box where a dozen eggs means 700g. If you have tiny eggs you may need to add extras
cheese- tasty or cheddar- your preference!
cream- this is pure cream. If you have thickened in the fridge it will work too.
