- 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 dry, the pie is ready to be taken out of the oven
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays well-structured when serving

This recipe is a true Brazilian kitchen staple that deserves a spot in your collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the savory filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it is always a crowd-pleaser.
