Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at major supermarket chains or local wet markets in Singapore. Look for 'calabresa' or similar smoked sausages in the deli or meat section, and check the baking aisle for flour and leavening agents.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture and pulse just until everything is combined.
- Sauté the bacon with the calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing thoroughly with the parsley.
- Grease a baking pan 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 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 down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it stays well-structured when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a permanent spot in your kitchen repertoire. The blender-made batter is exceptionally quick to prepare and yields a fluffy, soft texture that perfectly complements the hearty filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor profile lies in thoroughly sautéing the calabresa and bacon before combining them, and being generous with the grated cheese on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
