Savoury Cake


A very easy savoury cake, which we have found is often served, cut into bite sized cubes, with an aperitif as pre-dinner nibbles. A little goes a long way!

Ingredients:

3 eggs
250g flour
150g chopped ham
100g grated gruyere
100g pitted olives (soak for approx 10mins before use to try & remove some of the saltiness)
15 cl olive oil
5 cl noilly prat
2 teasp / ½ sachet baking powder
20g butter
salt & pepper to taste

Method:

Sift the flour & baking powder together, then mix in the eggs, olive oil, noilly prat, & butter until you have a smooth batter.
Stir in the ‘flavourings’ (all the remaining ingredients).
Bake in an oven at 210°C for 10mins then turn down to 150°C for 35 mins.

Serve once cool.
