Savory Spoon Cake with ham and cheese is a soft and tasty focaccia. As a lover of rustic dishes, I recommend trying the soft cushion focaccia and the 7-jar cake with salami. Its peculiarity is that it is prepared using only a spoon, and it is perfect for those who have little time or are beginners in the kitchen. You need eggs, flour, oil, and instant yeast. In my version, I filled it with tomato sauce, cooked ham, and cheese, but you can let your imagination run wild and create new combinations. The spoon cake with ham and cheese is really simple to make and stays soft as if just baked for a couple of days.

How to Make the Savory Spoon Cake
In a large bowl, break the eggs, then pour in the milk and oil, and mix all the liquids well.
At this point, incorporate the sifted flour and yeast, then mix well to have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour half of the mixture into a 9-inch pan lined with parchment paper, or alternatively, you can butter and flour it. Proceed by pouring a layer of tomato sauce previously seasoned with salt and oregano.
Next, fill with cooked ham and cheese.
Then pour the remaining batter on top and level it with a spatula, then garnish with sesame seeds.
