Where to find ingredients

For the traditional items, look for a local deli or specialty store that stocks Brazilian pantry essentials like linguiça calabresa, which can be substituted with high-quality smoked sausage if not available.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken stock cube in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture and pulse just enough to incorporate all ingredients.
- Sauté the bacon and 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 the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- Check the pie with a toothpick or fork 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 remains well-structured when serving.
