Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets, wet markets, or neighborhood grocery stores. Look for the processed meat section for the linguiça calabresa and bacon, and the dairy aisle for the milk and cheese.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine 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 all ingredients.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa in a pan, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, onion, and parsley until well mixed.
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling evenly, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish the assembly by decorating with sliced tomatoes, 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.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is firm and well-structured when serving.
