Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients, including traditional staples like calabresa sausage, in the fresh produce and meat aisles of your local supermarket. If you cannot find calabresa, you may use any smoked or cured sausage as a substitute.
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 mixture and pulse just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon with the calabresa, add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a pan with oil and flour, pour in half the batter, distribute the filling evenly over it, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish assembling 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.
- Perform the toothpick or fork test after 35 minutes.
- If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays well-structured when serving.
