Ham Solo Savory Cake Recipes

"HAM" SOLO SAVORY CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cheese garnish:.
• Place 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pliable.
• Scoop the cheese into the mold, pressing and spreading into the bottom. You don't want to fill the entire mold - just the Han Solo indentations and enough to cover the entire rectangle.
• Microwave for 15 seconds then tap on the counter. Freeze until solid at least 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the cheese from the mold and set aside in the fridge.
• Make the savory cake:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 7x11 inch cake pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
• Combine the Bisquick, milk, sugar, egg, and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined.
• Add the Gruyere cheese, sautéed onion, ham, and chives and fold with a spatula to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake until lightly golden brown, about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool completely in pan. Meanwhile, take the Han Solo cheese garnish out of the fridge and let come to room temperature.
• Run a small offset around the edges of the cake and invert onto a cutting board. Remove parchment paper and then invert again. If needed, level the top of the cake with a serrated knife.
• Place the cheese garnish on top of the cake and trim the cake with a serrated knife so that the cake and cheese have the same dimensions.
• Set the cheese garnish aside and spread the softened butter over the top of the cake.
• Place the cheese on top of the butter, pressing to adhere.
• Transfer the cake to a platter and serve with more ham and butter.
