    I liked the idea of this but the reality wasn't so great. Like Lepa I found it was very undercooked at the suggested cook time and oven temp. It was completely liquid in the center so I upped the temp from 350 to 390 for another 20 minutes. After that it was edible around the edges but the center tasted of uncooked flour - not pleasant. I still like the concept so I may try it again and bake at 390 from the start.

    This did not turn out well for me. I was excited to try it because my MIL gave me a 1960s recipe for broccoli "quiche" or impossible pie with bisquick that I make all the time and love. I thought this would be a different, more exciting version of that so maybe I was setting myself up for disappointment. That said, this recipe has several issues. First, the bacon goes in uncooked. I was a bit surprised and googled several Australian websites and this is common with zucchini slice recipes. A few precooked the bacon so I did- but barely. The taste of the soft bacon, semi-cooked bacon in the end result was off-putting for me. If I tried this again I would crisp the bacon first. Also, this recipe needs salt. Finally, the cooking time isn't nearly enough. I took it out after 45 minutes and when I cut into it, egg oozed out. So I put it under the broiler for a few minutes but that still didn't do the trick. I'd add another ten minutes to the recipe.
