Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and the chicken bouillon cube until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Add the flour and the baking powder to the blender mixture 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 tin 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 dry, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Let the pie cool down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays well-structured when serving.

Serve it warm or at room temperature—it is a guaranteed success.
