Ingredients
  

Zucchini and Cheese

  • 2 cups grated zucchini packed (2 medium zucchinis, 380g / 13 oz grated)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese (200g / 6.5 oz)

Wet Ingredients

Preparation

  • Use a standard box grater to grate the zucchini. Measure out 2 cups, place in bowl, sprinkle with salt, use fingers to disperse. Leave for 20 minutes.
  • Squeeze handfuls to remove excess water and place zucchini in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (all oven types).
  • Butter and line a loaf pan.
  • Place Dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Place Wet Ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Make a well in the centre of the Dry ingredients. Pour in Wet. Mix quickly until flour is incorporated.
  • Quickly stir through zucchini.
  • Spread ⅓ of the batter in the loaf pan. Top with 4 slices of cheese.
  • Spread with batter, top with 4 slices of cheese, then finish with remaining batter. Smooth top.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Optional: Brush top with a bit of melted butter.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to rack to cool. Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Store in a container.

Notes

This bread will keep for 4 to 5 days in a container. In hot and humid weather, wrap with a tea towel instead of using a container to avoid mould.
