Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken stock cube in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture and pulse just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking tin with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, spread the filling over the 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 a high temperature 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 place in your collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the savoury filling. The key to its irresistible flavour 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.
