Ham, Cheddar and Mustard Loaf
This is another savoury loaf (or cake as they say in french!) which is perfect as an aperitif or finger food for a buffet. Personally I prefer the ham and olive loaf, the recipe for which you can find here, but this is a good alternative if you are cooking for someone who doesn’t like olives 😉
Ingredients :
- 150g flour
- Even teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of wholegrain mustard
- 100ml milk
- 125ml sunflower
- 150g ham
- 75g cheddar
- 75g grated gruyere (or other hard cheese)
- 5cl beer (blonde or pale – not sure what the correct term is in english!)
- Salt and Pepper
Method :
- Pre-heat oven t 180°C
- Chop the cheddar and the ham in small cubes
- Place in a bowl and mix in the wholegrain mustard and the beer, mix well and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes
- In a large bowl beat the eggs with the flour and baking powder
- Slowly pour in the warm milk and oil mixing all the time
- Add the grated cheese
- Add the ham and cheese mixture and mix well
- Season with salt and pepper
- Pour into a non-greased loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes at 180°C
