• 3 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• ground pepper
• 10 cl of oil (sunflower, olive...)

• 150 g of pitted green olives

Steps

1. 1

   Bring water to a boil and blanch the bacon lardons for 2 minutes.

3. 3

   In a large bowl (or a stand mixer bowl), combine the flour, baking powder, eggs, salt, pepper, and oil.

4. 4

   Mix well, then add the warm milk, grated cheese, drained olives, and the bacon lardons.

   Grease a loaf pan, line it with buttered parchment paper, and pour the batter into it.

6. 6

7. 7

   Let cool slightly in the pan, then serve warm or cold.
