Method
Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.
1: Pan fry bacon in a non-stick frypan that has been coated with cooking spray.
2: Beat egg and egg whites in a mixing bowl then add pumpkin, bacon, zucchini and tasty cheese. Combine well.
3: Fold in flour, mix well then add all remaining ingredients to bowl except the parmesan cheese. Mix well then pour into a small quiche or pie dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Flatten mix.
4: Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over top then place a layer of baking paper over a sheet of foil, cover dish baking paper side down. This will help prevent the food from sticking.
5: Bake 45 minutes, remove baking paper and foil, cook a further 15-20 minutes until slice has browned and firm to touch in the centre.
Variations: For a vegetarian version replace bacon with 60g Vegie Delights® Bacon Style Rashers or ½ cup diced capsicum or celery.
Suitable to be frozen.
