Classic Lunchbox Thermomix Zucchini Slice

The Thermomix Zucchini slice is one of my favourite “go to” recipes. It’s packed with healthy zucchini plus the bacon & cheese make it irresistible. 

Whenever I’m looking for a quick, healthy meal to serve I inevitably fall back on this dish.

The recipe ticks all my boxes, it’s delicious, and quick to make and everyone always LOVES it! The best part is it includes hidden vegetables, plus the leftovers make a great lunchbox idea. There is always a fight over who gets to take the leftovers to lunch or school.

Zucchini Slice Tips

1. This recipe freezes well so if you’re one of these super organised mums you could make and freeze the recipe ahead of time. Cut the slice into serving sizes before freezing. The individual portions can be used for school lunches or single-serve dinners on busy nights.
   

   Unfortunately, I have never been that organised, so my tribe fights it out for the measly leftovers.

2. Note I’ve made the Thermomix zucchini slice in a slice tray and a mini loaf tin. If you do use a loaf tin make sure you line it with baking paper so it doesn’t stick.  You could also make these in large muffin trays with cupcake wrappers. The cooking times will alter depending on what tray you use.

Serving Suggestion

• The zucchini slice makes a healthy main meal when served with a large, fresh salad.
• Serve with a pouch of “heat and serve” pre-cooked quinoa and brown rice.
• Kids may enjoy some oven-fried chips with their zucchini slice.

More School Lunchbox Idea

Keeping lunchboxes interesting can be hard work! Especially when both parents are working. The alternative of buying commercially prepared treats can be expensive, and it’s difficult to know exactly what you are feeding your child. If you can find time to make a big batch of lunchbox food during the weekend or holidays it can really reduce stress during the working week.

These Homemade LCM Bars may not exactly be healthy food but they are a delicious addition to any lunchbox and far cheaper than their commercial counterparts.
