Savory madeleines, olives and dried tomatoes

I love madeleines but I never think of the savory version, and yet it’s so good and I was pleasantly surprised at the exquisite flavor!!.

These savory madeleines made with olive oil, dried tomatoes and olives are simply incredible. They are light with a subtle hint of fresh dill in the batter with a hint of tangy olive oil for added flavor.

I found these madeleines on the blog of my dear Brigitte du blog The girls at the tablein the original recipe there is butter, but I added olive oil because I know it has an incomparable taste and above all it enhances the taste of madeleines and dishes in general.

Madeleines aperitifs

These madeleines are not the real ones, they are salty and have no bumps that are usually found in traditional madeleines. But they are very tasty and light.

They are made of flour, egg, butter and olive oil. A touch of sweetness thanks to sun-dried tomatoes. They cook quickly and are perfect bites to accompany cocktails and aperitifs.

Also, this batter is versatile, you can bake it in mini muffin or cake tins. Mediterranean flavors: olives, dried tomatoes. An idea for a lunch box or an outing with friends, a picnic etc… These madeleines keep perfectly well, so you can prepare them in advance!.

When I need to prepare something quick, I always turn to appetizers. The advantage of these savory madeleines:

• Store well for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
• A versatile recipe: you can put any ingredients: pickles, tuna, corn, roasted peppers, capers, vegetables, etc.

Plain flour : use all-purpose flour or wholemeal flour.

baking powder : which you can replace with baking soda.

olives : use the black ones, which you can replace with the green ones or the purple ones. Remember to cut them into slices.

Dried tomatoes : bring a lot of flavor. I also add the oil contained in the jar.

Dill: brings flavor, which you can replace with chives.
