Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, onions, and canned corn/peas can be found at any local supermarket or neighborhood grocery store. For the parmesan and mozzarella, look in the refrigerated dairy aisle. The beef stock cubes are typically located in the dry goods or seasonings section. If you have trouble finding authentic Brazilian ingredients, standard supermarket alternatives work perfectly well for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until it turns translucent
- Add the shredded chicken, corn, and peas, seasoning with salt to your liking; mix everything well and set the filling aside
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, grated parmesan, and the crumbled beef stock cubes
- Blend all the batter ingredients until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture
- Gently fold in the baking powder with a spoon or spatula until just incorporated
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole with a little oil and lightly dust it with flour
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish
- Evenly spread the prepared chicken filling over the layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the top to cover the filling
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until the pie is beautifully golden and set
