Savory cakes

Smörgåstårta is one of my favorite things ever and is so underrepresented in Swedish food culture internationally. Everyone knows of meatballs, makes faces when trying herring, and raves over the candy but this perfect celebration food is never talked about. Many where I live never knew that it even was a thing. A cake that’s a sandwich? What? This recipe is written by Ingrid Schatz in collaboration with Axelsdotter Bakery.

This Pistachio and Mushroom Cheesecake with Feta & Parmesan Crust is a unique and savory twist on the classic cheesecake. With a crunchy, nutty pistachio and cheese crust and a creamy mushroom filling, it’s perfect for dinner parties or a special occasion. The earthy mushrooms combined with rich cheeses and a hint of fresh thyme make this an elegant appetizer or main course. Try it warm or at room temperature!

Easy to prepare, the savory cake is usually served as an appetizer during a French apéro (happy hour). Cook in advance and freeze, to also serve as breakfast.

This is a great recipe to make ahead and freeze for when you’re in need of a dish to pass. —Macey Allen, Green Forest, Arkansas
