1 c. mixed olives, halved
1 small Melissa’s shallot, thinly sliced
1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
1½ c. flour
2 t. baking powder
½ t. kosher salt
½ t. freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
½ c. whole milk
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray an 8”x4” loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl place olive halves, sliced
shallot, shredded cheddar, and the cooked and crumbled bacon. Toss to combine;
set aside.
In a large, mixing bowl, place, flour, baking powder, kosher salt, add black pepper; whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Into the well place eggs, milk, and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon just until combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Add the olive mixture and fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
If you cannot consume the cake within three days, it can be frozen for
up to three months.

The texture of that bread looks fantastic, and look at those olives - yum! I love that you used Gruyère, one of my faves. I would just pull out a cube of butter and go to town with this.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the bread. I like the idea of savoury rather than sweet too. Hmmm…
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks wonderful! Will be trying this!
