Where to find ingredients
All basic ingredients such as flour, milk, oils, and eggs can be found at local grocery stores and markets. For the filling, fresh proteins or canned goods like tuna and sardines are widely available. Grated cheese can be sourced from local dairies or retail outlets; Parmesan is a common substitute if traditional Brazilian grating cheeses are unavailable.
Preparation method
- In a blender, beat all the crust ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture and the egg smell is no longer noticeable.
- Grease a baking dish with butter and a dusting of flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread your preferred filling evenly over the base layer of the batter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake until golden brown and the crust is firm. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the dish.
