Ingredients

1.5 cups (220 g) finely grated zucchini, after measuring, squeeze liquid out
1 cup (227 g) whole milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup (50 g) vegetable oil
2 ¼ cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 cup (56 g) freshly grated gruyere cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
In a bowl, add finely grated zucchini (after liquid has been squeezed out), milk, eggs, and oil. Whisk until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Stir until incorporated. Add cheese and bacon and stir just until incorporated. Batter will be thick.
Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 48 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.
