Instructions
1. Preheat Oven

3. Make the Batter

- Stir in grated carrot, zucchini, chopped onion, and most of the cheddar cheese (reserve a little for topping).
4. Assemble
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
5. Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve
- Let it cool 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm as a snack, side dish, or light lunch.
💡 Tips:
- You can add herbs like thyme, parsley, or chives to boost flavor.
- For extra crispiness on top, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese along with the cheddar.
