Another one of my savoury “cake” recipes from France. This recipe is slightly more substantial than my Recipe #316039, as this recipe contains ham with white wine and port! Serve this as alternative sandwich bread or as a light snack spread with cream cheese or butter. This cake recipe will also make fantastic little appetisers if the loaf is cut into small cubes and served with olives, cubes of cheese and savoury spreads. Please note that the texture of this savoury cake is NOT like a sweet dessert cake – it will be slightly holey with a robust and slightly chewy texture, almost like sourdough.
Another version of a croque monsieur. Here in Belgium you can eat it in almost every restaurant that serves snacks.
My two versions of this classic French café/bistro sandwich – oven baked for large quantities and ease…….or, the traditional frying pan/skillet method! You can always rely upon the French to add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to even the simplest food …including the humble cheese and ham sandwich. The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafés & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafés! This one works for me. But, please be warned … it’s not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!

We once had Flammekuchen for lunch in Rothenburg op den Tauber in Germany. It was so deliious! I found this recipe online on a site named My Best German Recipes and I altered to fit our taste and the ingredients I had on hand. It turned out so well I decided to post it for future reference – to make again.
