Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the refrigerated meat section and the pantry aisles of your local grocery store. For the specific sausage, look for 'linguiça calabresa' in the international or Latin American specialty section of well-stocked supermarkets.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon cube until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse or blend just enough to incorporate everything into the batter.
- Sauté the bacon with the 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 of the batter, distribute the filling evenly on top, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and additional grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat your 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 down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it holds its structure perfectly when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a true staple of Brazilian home cooking that deserves a spot in your collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a soft, airy texture that holds the savory filling perfectly. The secret to its irresistible flavor lies in sautéing the calabresa sausage and bacon until golden, and being generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is a guaranteed success.
