Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store or supermarket. Look for the 'calabresa' sausage in the deli or cured meats section, and ensure you pick up fresh, high-quality chicken and aromatics from the produce aisle.
Preparation method
- Combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender and process until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender, pulsing just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, onion, and fresh parsley.
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling evenly over the top, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish the assembly by decorating with sliced tomatoes, 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.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving.
