Can I use egg replacer?
Vanessa Vickery
Yes you can!
Yash
This was a great recipe. Easy to make and delicious. Wondering if i can throw in other veggies like corn, carrots and cherry tomatoes etc.
Vanessa Vickery
Hi Yash, I haven't tried it with other veggies, but I reckon you could add corn and grated carrot. I am thinking the tomato will bring more liquid to the recipe. So you have to try it and see.
Kathleen
Delicious thanks. I added a little onion. I would probably recommend squeezing some of the juice out of the zucchini mixture. We made about 15 slices...very tasty. We added the feta and the chilli flakes.
Vanessa Vickery
Thanks for the tip!! I am due to make it again so will test it out and update the recipe 🙂
Ann
This recipe worked great. I didn't have sweet potato on hand so used carrots and white potato, but it still worked. Also used sun dried tomatoes as my optional extra. This is brilliant as a healthy snack for kids
Tracy
Hi can these be frozen?
Mel
I have frozen slices, very handy for lunches.
Mel
I love this recipe, thank you! I usually use around 400-500g sweet potato, two zucchini and six eggs. Also sometimes add nutritional yeast flakes or sundried tomatoes for extra flavour. ?
Jodie Shirley
Yay made with coconut flour! Thanks so much for the great recipe
Justin
If you add bacon, should you fry it before?
Thanks
Vanessa Vickery
You should be able to just add them to the slice uncooked and they will cook in the oven.
Rachel
Yum yum yum! I followed the recipe. Adding the optional feta and chilli flakes, which should be mandatory IMO 😉. I used the coconut flour and 5 eggs, but swapped the chives for 3 tblsp of finely diced red onions and because I adore garlic, I used 4 cloves instead of 2. It was so scrummy! And I have lots of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Bonus! Thanks for a great recipe.
Vanessa Vickery
It does make it extra special <3
Barbara
I live in Australia and buy my feta directly from the Deli by weight, could you please tell me how much weight is in a packet of feta? I am dying to try this recipe.
Vanessa Vickery
I use the 200gms packets of feta
