Savory zucchini loaf soft and delicious. The recipe I want to share with you today stars once again my beloved zucchinis. A Savory Cake with zucchinis in a simple and exquisite version. Don’t miss all my Savory Cake Recipes with zucchinis and the recipe for the Puff Pastry Tart with potatoes. I made a very simple batter in a bowl by mixing all the ingredients and without pre-cooking the zucchinis, you just need to cut them into small cubes and add them to the batter. I used a loaf pan for baking, but if you prefer, a round pan of 9-10 inches (22-24 cm) in diameter works just as well. A simple, tasty, and flavorful Savory Cake with zucchinis and speck. The perfect, simple recipe for a quick meal, a special appetizer, or simply when you don’t know what to prepare for lunch or dinner. For the ingredients, I chose diced scamorza cheese and speck, but you can adjust to your taste by choosing a soft cheese and you can replace the speck with cooked ham. Let’s head to the kitchen and prepare a delicious Zucchini and Speck Savory Loaf together.
