1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 11 by 7-inch baking dish with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Finely dice the onion and chop the bacon, then melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon and onion until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden, which adds a rich depth to the dish.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked bacon and onion with the eggs, cheese, flour, and olive oil, mixing everything well for a consistent batter. Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini before stirring it into the mixture along with salt and pepper for seasoning.
