Toast Bread Cake with Homemade Mayonnaise

Hello, you hungry people of Hive! Are you ready for another simple but delicious recipe from me?

This time I wanted to make something savory, that I can pull out of the fridge for a few days and have a quick bite. This "cake" is perfect if you have left over bread and a few minutes to spare to make it, and have as breakfast or dinner.

I also made homemade mayonnaise, because I prefer it over store-bought one. I know exactly what's inside and can make it to my taste. A lot of mayonnaise goes in to this cake so I made an entire jar.

Ingredients:

The mayonnaise:

  • 2eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan salt
  • vegetable oil

The cake:

  • 1 pack of toast bread
  • Jar of mayonnaise
  • 2 cups of sour cream
  • 100g of deli meat
  • 2 eggs (hard boiled)
  • 2 pickles
  • grated cheese for the topping

Preparation:

Ok, so first of all I made the mayonnaise from scratch. You will need a jar, hand held mixer, and the ingredients listed above. After putting the eggs, salt, mustard and vinegar add just a splash of vegetable oil to it and start mixing.

After a minute or two, start adding vegetable oil while mixing. You kind of have to do it simultaneously, so keep the oil dripping while you mix and stop when the jar fills up with mayonnaise. It's so delicious and you will be surprised how easy it is to make.

After that was done, I had to do the most tedious task with this recipe, and that was to remove all the crust from the toast bread before making the cake. You want to do this step, because the cake will be more moist and compact, easier to cut and over all delicious.

Decide how big you want your cake to be by placing the bread on a tray. For example, my cake was 3x4 slices of bread. Keep in mind that you will need more of the filling if you make it bigger, of course.

Speaking of the filling for the cake, you will make 3 separate fillings.

No.1

  • Mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 hardboiled eggs finely chopped

No. 2

  • Mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup of sour cream
  • Grated pickles
  • Grated deli meat

You can cut the pickles and the meat, in to small cubes. I just find it easier to grate them. Also, be sure to squeeze the excess juice from the pickles before putting them in to the mixture.

Now, when I have my mixtures I can proceed on to making the actual cake. This part was pretty fast, when I had all the things ready to go. So, I placed the bread, spread the filling. Add another layer of bread, spread the other filling and finished with the last layer of bread. On top I mixed up some mayo and sour cream that I had left on the side.

After the whole cake was done, I decided to grate some cheese on top, for taste and for appearance. It's not necessary, but I liked it more this way. It also added a bit more of taste and texture to the cake.

It already looked perfect and ready to be eaten in one sitting.

But, the trick with this cake is the waiting game. It tastes great after a few hours, and even better if you let it soak up all the juices over night. The bread will be soft and melting in your mouth, combined with fresh and interesting ingredients.

I hope that you give this simple recipe a try. You can add a few more things to it to make it even more interesting and colorful, or make it just like this and enjoy it while it lasts (it won't last long).

With love,
