Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 420g can corn kernels, drained
  • 2 large zucchini, coarsely grated and excess liquid removed
  • ½ cup grated cheese (such as tasty, vintage or colby)
  • 2 spring/green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon each dried parsley, basil and oregano (or use mixed dried herbs)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk milk, eggs and flour together in a large bowl until smooth and combined.
  • Add corn, zucchini, cheese, spring/green onions, dried herbs, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Notes

  1. COOKS NOTES:
    Oven Temps: 
    Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.
    Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup =  250 ml.
    Herbs: All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed.
    Vegetables: All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified.
    Eggs: We use extra-large size and eggs are 55-60 g each, unless specified.
  2. HERBS
    If you prefer, instead of dried herbs, use a 1/4 cup of fresh, finely chopped mixed herbs such as parsley, coriander and/or basil.
