Zucchini Slice

When I first started blogging, Fig Jam and Lime Cordial was one of the first blogs I started following and Celia continues to inspire me with her unwavering quest of making as much of her family’s food from scratch.  I am convinced that Celia ranks as one of the best bread bakers too.  Recently, she shared her friend Genie’s Zucchini Slice.  I made it yesterday and it was lovely.  I am not sure it turned out the way it was meant to but it was yummy all the same and reminded me of quiche.  It may be because I beat the eggs (Celia did not mention to do this).  Next time I make it, I will divide the mixture into 12 muffin tins. 🙂
