French Food Friday - Cake aux herbes

This week's recipe comes from one of my favourite  French websites and it is perfect as a snack, to take as part of a picnic lunch or for afternoon tea.

You can use either  mini loaf tins or a regular sized muffin tin.

Cake aux herbes

Preparation time: 20 min

Cooking time: 45 min

Ingredients 

20 g parsley

½ bunch of chives

2 pinches of pepper

1 pinch of salt

2 tbsp.  dry white wine

4 eggs

5 g baking powder

250 g flour

150 g grated Gruyere

150 g  ham

150 g butter 

Directions

Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance to soften.

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C . Grease the muffin/mini loaf tins.

Wash the parsley and chives. Cut the herbs finely with a pair of scissors. 

Cut the ham into cubes.

Take two salad bowls, break the eggs. In the first, put the whites and in the other the yolks.

Using a spoon, mix the yolks with the softened butter cut into small pieces. Add the flour, baking powder, ham, herbs, Gruyère, white wine, pepper and salt. Mix well.

In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff. When the whites are firm and resemble whipped cream, gently incorporate them into the preparation in the other bowl.

Pour the preparation into the muffin/mini loaf tins and bake for  20-30 minutes. 

Bon vendredi a tous ♥♥
