Savoury kougelhopf is the aperitif and indulgent version of the famous Alsatian cake. Far from the sweet kougelhopf with raisins enjoyed at breakfast, this savoury variation with smoked lardons, walnuts and fresh herbs is ideal as an aperitif, buffet or starter for a festive meal. Baked in the traditional Soufflenheim terracotta mould that gives it its characteristic crown shape, savoury kougelhopf is as beautiful as it is delicious and always much appreciated by guests.
