- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, spread the filling on top, 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 on high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- Perform the toothpick or fork test after 35 minutes.
- If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Let the pie cool down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a classic of Brazilian home cooking that deserves a spot in every kitchen notebook. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and results in a soft, light texture that holds the filling perfectly. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature—it is a guaranteed success.
