Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
nonstick cooking spray
3 cups Bisquick
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese
1/2 small red onion, sauteed
1/4 lb deli ham, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1/4 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (plus more for serving)

1
Make the cheese garnish:
2
Place 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pliable.
3
Scoop the cheese into the mold, pressing and spreading into the bottom. You don't want to fill the entire mold - just the Han Solo indentations and enough to cover the entire rectangle.
4
Microwave for 15 seconds then tap on the counter. Freeze until solid at least 1 hour.
5
Carefully remove the cheese from the mold and set aside in the fridge.
6
Make the savory cake:
7
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 7x11 inch cake pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
8
Combine the Bisquick, milk, sugar, egg, and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined.
9
Add the Gruyere cheese, sauteed onion, ham, and chives and fold with a spatula to combine.
10
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.
11
Let the cake cool completely in pan. Meanwhile, take the Han Solo cheese garnish out of the fridge and let come to room temperature.
12
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.
13
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.
14
Set the cheese garnish aside and spread the softened butter over the top of the cake.
15
Place the cheese on top of the butter, pressing to adhere.
16
Transfer the cake to a platter and serve with more ham and butter.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
