Zucchini and Onion Flan
« on: December 08, 2012, 03:48:18 am »
Zucchini and Onion Flan
A conversion of an AWW recipe. Original recipe has onion rings placed on top of flan before baking. However, we prefer the onion mixed up with the rest of the ingredients to give more flavour.

Ingredients
2 large zucchinis (approx. 400g), cut into chunks
1 large carrot, cut into chunks
1 onion, peeled and quartered.
4 eggs
75g vegetable oil
150g self raising flour
80g grated cheese (I used tasty)
20g grated/shredded parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
Preheat oven 180°C.
Grease 24cm flan dish and line bottom with baking paper if needed.  I use a ceramic type flan dish which doesn't stick, so I don't line with paper.
Grate cheeses if needed, remove and set aside.
Place zucchini, carrot and onion into TMX and chop 5 seconds, speed 5.
Add remaining ingredients and mix 10-15 seconds, reverse, speed 4 or until combined.
Pour into prepared dish and baked 40 to 45 minutes or until golden.

Sound a bit like a crustless quiche that I make sometimes. Though I put tomatoes in mine. Could probably make individual flans in small pie tins or even muffin trays. Must try this for taking to Christmas dinner.
 Thanks for that.

This was an interesting variation on the zucchini slice I usually make, with bacon.  Thank you.  :)  It was nice for a change.
