Gateau Salé Inspiration: I found the gorgeous 1950s Wear-Ever fluted pan on my
post at a yard sale and knew it was destined for something special: a
sweet-and-savory Gateau Salé! This French
savory cake from the sun-drenched region of Provence is
usually a simple loaf, but adding figs to the classic recipe creates an amazing
sweet-savory balance that's perfect for apéros or alongside soups and
salads. It's rustic, delicious, and so easy to make.
So let’s get started
with the recipe!
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup spelt flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. dried herbes de Provence
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup plain oat milk
1/2 cup chopped walnut and a few walnut halves to put on gateau batter
1/2 cup chopped pitted Picholine or any other green olives and a few whole olives to put on gateau batter
5 dried figs thinly sliced to put on gateau batter
2 thyme sprigs and a few marjoram leaves
Instructions:
1. Preheat
your oven to 375°F.
2. Thoroughly
grease a 10 or 12-inch deep pie pan with a generous amount of olive oil—this
keeps it from sticking and adds delicious flavor.
3. Using
a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they reach a fine, flour-like
consistency.
4. In a
medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
5. Pour
the oat milk and olive oil into your dry mixture, stirring just until combined.
6. Pour
the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spoon. Artfully
arrange the halved walnuts, sliced figs, whole olives, thyme sprigs, and
marjoram leaves on top to create a beautiful, rustic pattern.
7. Bake
for 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a perry kife inserted in
the center comes out clean.
8. Let
the gateau salé cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes to help it set.
9. Gently
run a paring knife around the edges to loosen the cake. Place a cutting board
over the pan, invert it, and carefully lift the pan off. Turn it right-side up,
slice, and enjoy this perfectly sweet-and-savory masterpiece.
This
beautiful and delicious Gateau Salé is the perfect culinary gift for friends
and family! Wrap it in rustic parchment paper with a custom label for a
homemade touch.
Enjoy
& Happy Baking!
