Western In France, rustic quick
breads like these called gateaux
are served as snacks. Here, we riff
on the classic ham and cheese
baguette sandwich to make this
savory quick bread that gets an
extra punch of flavor from briny
Nicoise olives. Make sure to buy a
good quality, fully cooked or
smoked ham steak. This easy recipe
is great for breakfast, snack time,
or a light lunch when served with
our Butter Lettuce and Pumpkin Seed
Salad. Special equipment: You'll
need a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan
for this recipe. Variation: You can
also use this recipe to bake savory
muffins instead of a loaf, using a
standard 12-well muffin pan. Coat
the wells with butter and bake the
muffins at 350 degrees F until a
toothpick inserted into the center
comes out clean, about 20 to 25
minutes. Let the muffins cool for
10 minutes, then remove them from
the pan and finish cooling on a
wire rack. We featured this recipe
