Preparation method
- In a blender, process the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken stock cube until smooth
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture and pulse just until incorporated
- Sauté the bacon with the calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley
- Grease a baking tin with oil and flour, pour in half the batter, spread the filling over the top, and cover with the remaining batter
- Complete the assembly by decorating with sliced tomatoes, 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
- 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 stays well-structured when serving
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that is an essential addition to your repertoire. The blender batter is incredibly quick to whip up and yields a soft, airy texture that holds the filling perfectly. The secret to an irresistible flavour is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is always a crowd-pleaser.
