Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at any major Canadian grocery store. Mozzarella and ham are found in the deli or refrigerated cheese aisles. For the 'queijo ralado' (grated cheese), standard pre-grated Parmesan or a mild Italian blend works perfectly. If you want a more authentic flavour, check the international or Latin aisle of your local supermarket for Brazilian brands of cheese or specific pantry goods, but standard grocery items will yield excellent results for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, baking powder, and salt in your blender jar
- Pulse or blend until the batter is completely smooth and liquid
- Grease a baking dish lightly with butter
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish
- Evenly distribute the diced mozzarella, ham, tomatoes, and onion over the bottom layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the filling until it is covered
- Top with a generous sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and dried oregano
- Place the dish into a preheated oven
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set
