Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line a 20x30cms/8x12inch rectangular tin on the base and sides with parchment. Heat a frying pan on medium high heat and sauté bacon and onion until cooked through and liquid evaporates. If you are making this vegetarian just cook the onions and crumble in the feta with the zucchini.
