A simple recipe for these tasty little cakes: savory madeleines with ham and basil!
Super easy to make as you just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, put the batter into the madeleine molds or paper cups, and bake them in the oven for 20/25 minutes.
They are very soft and tender, and kids will love them because they have a gentle taste!
I bought this shell-shaped madeleine mold from Amazon 
which is very cute and bakes both sweet and savory batters perfectly.
These soft madeleines for aperitif are very versatile and can be enriched with many other ingredients like cheese pieces, quickly sautéed vegetable cubes, leftover charcuterie, smoked salmon pieces, chopped olives, and much more!

INGREDIENTS RECIPE SAVORY MADELEINES WITH HAM AND BASIL
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 packet instant yeast for savory preparations (for me Pizzaiolo)
- 1/4 cup Grana Padano cheese, grated

- to taste basil (freshly chopped, about 4/5 leaves)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
TOOLS RECIPE SAVORY MADELEINES WITH HAM AND BASIL
- Muffin molds
- Bowls
- Spatulas
FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE RECIPE SAVORY MADELEINES WITH HAM AND BASIL
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the flour, yeast for savory preparations, and the Grana Padano cheese, grated.
Dice or slice the cooked ham (I had a block at home) and add it to the initial mixture, then pour in the liquid ingredients: oil and milk, and mix again.
The mixture is fluid but not too runny. After oiling the chosen molds, pour part of the batter into each cavity and bake at 356°F, cooking for 20/25 minutes in static mode or according to your oven’s characteristics.
Let them cool, then remove from the oven and unmold these soft savory little cakes with cooked ham and lots of basil!
Enjoy! Annalisa
