Ingredients:
  • 2 T Sesame seeds
  • 150 grams/1 1/4 c Flour
  • 1 T Baking Powder
  • 3 Eggs
  • 60 ml / 1/4c Olive oil
  • 150 grams yogurt
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 t pepper
  • 200 grams feta
  • 1 c herbs--parsley,chervil, basil, chives, mint, rough chop
Notes: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Butter a 24-by-12-cm (9-by-5-inch) loaf pan and sprinkle half the sesame seeds onto the bottom and sides, shaking the pan to coat. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, yogurt, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese and herbs. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Don’t overmix the batter, it’s okay if a few lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, level the surface with a spatula, and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Put into the oven to bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the loaf is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes and run a knife around the pan to loosen. Unmold and transfer to a rack to cool. Cut in slices or cubes just before serving, slightly warm or at room temperature.

An absolutely delightful savory quick bread. I used fresh herbs clipped from plants on my balcony and added some scallions for good measure. I chose a nice French feta. The sesame seeds are a really a charming touch. The result is very moist and flavorful without overwhelming whatever else you're eating.
