FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Peel and dice the vegetables. Blanch peppers and zucchini for 5 minutes, beans and carrots for 10 minutes. Drain and let these vegetables dry well. Roll them in a little flour.
• 2.   Prepare the batter: separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Using a mixer, gradually incorporate the yolks into the butter until the mixture is fluffy. Gradually mix in the remaining sifted flour with the baking powder, salt, and pepper. Once the batter is smooth, add the floured vegetables. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form with a pinch of salt, then gently fold them into the previous mixture.
• 3.   Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes at 210°C (410°F); adjust if necessary during cooking. Check the doneness by inserting a knife blade into the cake: it should come out dry, without any trace of moisture.
• 4.   Remove from the pan and let cool. Serve as an appetizer, sliced or on a buffet. You can also make individual small cakes, molded in paper liners.
