Preparation
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
Line a 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4-inch (13 x 8 x 5.5 cm) small loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, chili powder and baking powder. Make a well, add the beaten eggs, melted butter and yogurt, and combine gently with a rubber spatula.
Fold in the chorizo, olives, sundried tomatoes, pistachios, cheese and pepper.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake 40 minutes or until a paring knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack before wrapping in plastic.
Just before serving, slice thinly and enjoy with cocktails.
Tips
This loaf is equally delicious as a snack. Cut thicker slices and toast them for a few seconds. Well wrapped in plastic, the loaf will keep for 2 months in the freezer.
