Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets and butcher shops. Look for 'calabresa' in the smoked meats or international aisle, and 'queijo ralado' (or standard grated hard cheese) in the dairy section.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon until smooth
- Add the wheat flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, and onion, mixing well with the parsley
- Grease a baking pan with oil and flour, pour in half the batter, distribute the filling evenly, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste
- Preheat the oven to high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes
- Check with a toothpick or fork after 35 minutes
- if it comes out dry, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving
