Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets and neighborhood grocery shops. Look for the 'linguiça calabresa' in the deli or meat section; if unavailable, a good-quality smoked sausage can be used as a substitute, although the original provides the best flavor.
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 combine everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half the batter, spread the filling evenly on 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.
- 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 spot in your kitchen repertoire. The blender batter is exceptionally fast and yields a soft, airy texture that holds the savory filling beautifully. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa sausage and bacon until golden, and don't hold back on the grated cheese sprinkled on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this pie is always a hit.
