Who says babka has to be sweet? Chocolate and cinnamon fillings may be the norm, but that doesn't mean you can't play around with savory fillings. This babka toes the line between sweet and savory, with ribbons of apricot jam and herbed goat cheese swirled throughout. Slivered almonds showered atop the loaf offer a little crunch. Ideal for brunch, this beautiful babka is wonderful for home or at cocktail parties, where it makes a fabulous accompaniment to a cheese platter and and a great glass of wine.
