Quick Loaf Ham Olive Cake

Savoury Ham and Olive Loaf - Cake aux Olives et Jambon

Ashley Tinker
This recipe is simple and very forgiving. For example, you can add a little less flour and another egg instead, or add a little more cheese. Once you have the base you can make a vegetarian version with fresh goat cheese, semi-dried tomatoes and lots of thyme. Play with it to make it yours!
