Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local neighborhood markets or major supermarkets in the fresh produce, meat, and dry goods sections. If a specific ingredient like calabresa is unavailable, you may use a high-quality smoked sausage as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon with the calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute 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 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.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays well-structured when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a place in your collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly complements the filling. 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.
