  4. Step 4: Stir in 3/4 cup self-raising flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, mixing until just smooth.
  5. Step 5: Fold in 2 medium grated zucchinis (squeeze out excess moisture), 1 small finely chopped onion, cooked bacon, and 1 cup grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the slice is golden on top and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm or at room temperature.
