Savoury slice - bacon version

For those of you who don't have a sweet tooth, this savoury slice would be a perfect choice for picnic or morning/afternoon tea. And if you are looking for something healthy (e.g., for your six-pack abs), this is not the right place! Go to my salad recipe! ;)

Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups self-raising flour
- 0.5 cup grated cheese
- 1 zucchini, grated or diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup spring onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 100g bacon, chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil


- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (250ml) milk

- 50g butter, melted

Method: 
1. Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius. Grease slice tin and line base with baking paper.

2.  Heat oil in a fry pan, fry garlic until golden brown. Add bacon, carrot, onion and soy sauce and stir until softened. Whisk milk and egg together, and add melted butter.

3. Sift flour into a large bowl. Add grated cheese, spring onion, zucchini.

 4. Add milk mixture and bacon stir fry. Using a large spoon, gently mix until combined. Pour the mixture into baking tin.

 5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand in pan for a few minutes then let it cool before slicing.

NOTE: It is important that you give bacon a bit of stir fry with garlic and soy sauce. This will give your slice (and the whole house!) a nice smell (too bad if you hate garlic!) while baking.
I hope you enjoy baking (and eating) it as much as I do! :)

Jelly slice

Jelly slice

Ingredients:
Base
- 200g of biscuits (of your choice)
- 175g of butter, melted
Middle layer
- 1 can of sweet condensed milk (400g)
- 1 sachet of gelatine (about 10 or 12g)
-  1/2 cup of boiling water
Top layer
- 1 sachet of raspberry jelly crystal
- 1 1/2 cups of boiling water

Method:

- Grease (e.g., oil spray or butter) and line a 30cm x 20cm x 3cm tray with baking paper.
- Crush biscuits in a food processor, or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, or in my case, I use mortar and pestle. Transfer the crumb to a bowl and mix with melted butter. Place mixture in the prepared tray and press down firmly. Keep in the refrigerator.

Biscuit base

- While the tray is in the refrigerator, pour condensed milk into a bowl. Dissolve gelatine in 1/cup of hot water. Combine gelatine with condensed milk and pour over biscuit base. Refrigerate until cool and set (Approximately for 30 minutes).

Condensed milk mixture and biscuit base

- Dissolve jelly in 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Place in the fridge until cool but not set.
- When condensed milk layer is set, pour cold jelly on top of slice and place in the refrigerator until set and firm.

Top layer - raspberry jelly crystal

- Once the slice is set, remove it out gently from the tray and slice it using a very thin and sharp knife.

All set and ready to slice :)

Notes:
 - The fun about making a slice is you can be creative and mix and match any color of your choice. You can also use a round tin and add a few more different color layers :)
