Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local Solomons island markets or general grocery stores. If you don't have an American-style cup measure, a standard 240ml measuring cup works perfectly. Parmesan cheese is usually found in the dairy or international cheese section.
Preparation method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks of the 3 eggs.
- Set the egg whites aside to beat until stiff peaks form later.
- In a blender, combine the flour, oil, egg yolks, milk, cooked rice, and grated parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and blend until smooth.
- Once the batter is homogeneous, add the baking powder and mix gently.
- Fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the batter carefully using a spatula or whisk to maintain the aeration.
- Grease a baking dish with oil or butter and lightly dust with flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish.
- Spread the seasoned, shredded chicken evenly over the first layer of batter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and set.
