Frequently Asked Questions About Whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake
How do you make whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake?
Soften finely sliced leek in a pan, then let it cool. Fold it into a batter of eggs, dairy, oil, whole-wheat flour, crumbled cheese and chopped herbs, and bake until the centre is set. Cooling the leek helps keep the batter from becoming wet.
What cheese works best in whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake?
Feta gives whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake a tangy, crumbly texture, while cheddar melts into a milder, richer cake. You can combine them; taste the cheese first and reduce added salt if it is already salty.
Can you use raw leeks in whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake?
You can, but sautéing the leeks first usually gives whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake a softer texture and sweeter flavour. Raw leek may stay firm or release moisture as it bakes, so cook and cool it before mixing it into the batter.
Why is my whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake soggy in the middle?
Excess moisture from the leek or cheese is a common reason whole-wheat leek, cheese and herb cake turns soggy. Cook the leek until tender, drain watery cheese, and bake until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out without wet batter.
