Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and the bouillon cube until the mixture is smooth
- Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing in the parsley
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of 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 your oven to 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
- Allow the pie to cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving
Observations

The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare, yielding a fluffy texture that holds the savory 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 crowd-pleaser.
