When you’re a mum, there are some recipes you tend to make more regularly than others. The reason for this is because you know the family loves them, which will result in a fuss free mealtime. This recipe is one of those! I’ve made this slice off and on for more than 20 years! Â Now that I have a Thermomix it’s even easier to make! The recipe I’m sharing is my Thermomix Zucchini Slice.
If you’re looking for a non Thermomix recipe for Zucchini Slice, I originally published the recipe on Gourmet Getaways in December 2010, and I’ve included the link above.
I have four children, two in their 20’s and two that are pre-teen. All my children SMASHED this dish as kids. Even the fussy ones didn’t notice the zucchini. You really can’t taste the zucchini at all. My Thermomix Zucchini Slice tastes more like a cheesy bacon quiche, without the egginess of a quiche. Is “egginess a word? Spell check doesn’t like it!
Anyway, I bet this will become one of your new favourite Thermomix recipes. It’s too easy and too tasty not to love it! Oh, and the smell as it cooks is insane!

It’s getting near the end of school term. I decided to make the Thermomix Zucchini Slice today so the kids could have easy, tasty school lunches for next week. I remember how dreary my lunch used to seem by the time it got to the end of
I remember how dreary my lunch used to seem by the time it got to the end of term. Just eating the same sandwiches each day is a special kind of torture. So I thought this might make a pleasant change for the kids.
This recipe usually makes two slice trays. I made one slice tray and six zucchini mini loaves. Â The mini loaves will go to school with the kids… if I don’t eat them first.
Have you tried this slice before? It was super popular in the 80’s! I hope you enjoy the Thermomix Zucchini Slice version.
