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!

We’ve chosen an olive marble cake as a frim favourite here at the Wilde Kitchen served with a light green salad and a cucumber pickle. Below are some ideas – feel free to share any of your own!

• Blue cheese, walnut and pears
• Apple and camembert
• Green olive and ham
• Chorizo and sundried tomato
