Savoury Cakes
Perfect for a picnic, as a starter or a light lunch, once the basic recipe is mastered, the rest is entirely up to the imagination, where these cakes are concerned. The basic recipe consists of eggs, flour, oil, milk, grated cheese and seasoning. Once these are mixed together the rest is up to you!

- Apple and camembert
- Green olive and ham
- Chorizo and sundried tomato
