Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Remove sausages from casings and crumble 400 g pork sausages into a skillet. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and cook sausage, stirring for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 1/3 cup milk until combined. Stir in 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, 2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed of excess moisture), and 1 finely chopped medium onion. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Fold the cooked sausage into the zucchini mixture until evenly combined. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and smooth the top.
- Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares to serve.
