Something quite common here is a "cake salé" or savoury cake, usually with ham and green olives. Here's the basic recipe which can be tweaked (replace the ham and olives with anything you like, fried onions, sautéed peppers, crispy bacon etc swap the gruyere for cheddar, Stilton or goat's cheese for a stronger flavour etc.)
Ingrédients (pour 6 personnes) :
- 150 g de farine ( self raising flour )
- 200 g de jambon ( ham )
- 150 g d'olives vertes dénoyautées ( pitted green olives )
- 75 g de gruyère râpé ( grated gruyere cheese )
- 4 oeufs ( eggs )
- 10 cl de lait ( milk )
- 1 cuillère à soupe d'huile ( dessert spoon of oil )
Mix the flour, eggs and milk with the kbeater, add the oil and cheese, then the other ingredients. Pour into a greased loaf tin. Bake in a preheated oven (180°) for about 45 minutes.
