ABOUT Savoury Cheese Cake RECIPE

i have never liked cakes, sweet cakes. And hence i started looking for a savoury cake. Found this recipe by Ottolenghi which was similar to what i was looking for. I made my own small little tweets to the recipe and made this. This cake is a great option for breakfast as it is filled with vegetables and is savoury.

Par boil the cauliflower florets and carrot slices.
