Instructions
Preheat oven to 170'C / 340F. Line a baking dish with greased parchment paper or rub a little oil on the dish for a non stick surface. I used a 20cm x 15cm pan and lined with parchment
Heat a pan on the stove stop add onion, bacon and olive oil. Fry for around five minutes until onion is soft and translucent
Add cooked onion, and bacon to a large mixing bowl, add all remaining ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined
Place in baking dish and use a spatula to evenly spread out on the dish
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until lightly golden and firm to touch
Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares
Store in a Tupperware in the fridge for up to 3 days
Notes
You can use any flour but it will change the consistency of the slice. If you use a plain flour, don't forget to add baking powder. The ration is 3/4 cup flour to 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
You can freeze this slice once you've cut into squares. Simply thaw and reheat before eating.
