Spinach, Prune, and Ham Cake
Spinach, Prune, and Ham Cake is a savory dish that combines unique flavors and textures. This cake, similar to a quiche or savory loaf, features a mixture of fresh spinach, sweet prunes, and savory ham. The ingredients are blended into a batter made from flour, eggs, milk, and cheese, which is then baked until golden and set. The result is a moist, flavorful cake with a balance of sweet and savory notes, making it a delightful appetizer, side dish, or light meal. The combination of spinach's earthiness, prunes' sweetness, and ham's saltiness creates a deliciously complex flavor profile.
