Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at local markets or supermarkets in the fresh produce section for vegetables and herbs, and in the meat and dairy aisles for the calabresa, bacon, and cheeses. If you cannot find authentic calabresa, you may use a high-quality smoked spicy sausage as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender, process 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 everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, onion, and parsley until well combined.
- Grease a baking pan 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 a high setting 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 slightly for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it remains well-structured when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that is a must-have in any home cook's collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to whip up and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the savory filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to really sauté the calabresa and bacon until golden and to be generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
