Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon until the mixture is smooth
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate everything
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, spread the filling evenly over it, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish 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 is well-structured for serving
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a permanent spot in your cookbook. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the hearty filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to make sure the sautéed calabresa and bacon are well-seasoned and not to skimp on the grated cheese sprinkled on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this pie is always a crowd-pleaser.
