Savory Cheese and Ham Bread
This recipe was spontaneously created during a workshop, showcasing the ability to craft both sweet and savory breads. I was pleasantly surprised by its success, as everyone enjoyed its tender, soft, fluffy, and delicious nature.
I've recreated it at home, meticulously noting and measuring the ingredients using what I found in the fridge. Feel free to be creative with the filling. I've experimented with ham, cheese, and mushrooms/olives, but you can also try various vegetables, sausages, or meats.
My husband was thrilled to have a delightful alternative to his usual morning sandwiches.
Melt the butter and let it cool.
In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a little salt using a fork, no mixer needed.
Stir in the butter.
Then add the yogurt and mix again with the whisk.
Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
The mixture should have the consistency of a thick cream-like batter.
Finally, fold in the diced cheese and ham along with any additional vegetables, sliced or diced.
Combine using a spatula or spoon.
Transfer the batter into a cake tin lined with parchment paper, baking in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.
Test with a toothpick before removing from the oven.
If it comes out clean, allow it to rest in the tin for 15-20 minutes.
Carefully remove it from the pan, placing it on a rack to cool completely.
For best results, slice it at least an hour after baking.
Serve your creation as an appetizer at a festive meal or as a delightful family breakfast.
It's absolutely perfect, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
Enjoy your meal!
