Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in local grocery stores. Look for fresh produce in the vegetable section, and high-quality cured meats like calabresa in the deli or meat department. If you cannot find linguiça calabresa, a dry-cured smoked sausage makes a suitable substitute.
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
- Sauté the bacon with the 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, distribute the filling on top, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish assembly by garnishing 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
- Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork after 35 minutes
- If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be removed
- Let the pie cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving
