The soft savory tart is a fluffy cake to be served cold, with a delicate taste and a scenic appearance.
Ideal for buffets, appetizers, and refreshments, it captivates with its freshness and the ability to customize it in countless ways.
It can be filled with vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts, olives, or savory mousses, creating a different and tasty combination each time.
The base is cooked in the so-called “smart mold”, a pan with a central hollow perfect for holding the filling.
There is also a sweet version, equally simple to prepare and delicious to serve on any occasion.

Pour the batter into a smart mold (the one with the central hollow) about 11 inches, slightly oiled and floured.
