- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
- Bisquick
- Milk
- Sugar
- Egg
- Salt
- Gruyere Cheese
- Red Onion
- Deli Ham
- Chives
- Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- Make the cheese garnish:
- Place 1 cups of cheddar cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pliable
- Scoop the cheese into the mold, pressing and spreading into the bottom
- You dont want to fill the entire mold – just the han solo indentations and enough to cover the entire rectangle
- Microwave for 15 seconds then tap on the counter
- Freeze until solid at least 1 hour
- Carefully remove the cheese from the mold and set aside in the fridge
- Make the savory cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f
- Line a 7×11 inch cake pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray
- Combine the bisquick, milk, sugar, egg, and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined
- Add the gruyere cheese, sauted onion, ham, and chives and fold with a spatula to combine
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake until lightly golden brown, about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let the cake cool completely in pan
- Meanwhile, take the han solo cheese garnish out of the fridge and let come to room temperature
- Run a small offset around the edges of the cake and invert onto a cutting board
- Remove parchment paper and then invert again
- If needed, level the top of the cake with a serrated knife
- Place the cheese garnish on top of the cake and trim the cake with a serrated knife so that the cake and cheese have the same dimensions
- Set the cheese garnish aside and spread the softened butter over the top of the cake
- Place the cheese on top of the butter, pressing to adhere
- Transfer the cake to a platter and serve with more ham and butter
