Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon cube in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture and pulse just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling evenly over it, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat the oven to a high setting 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 is well-structured for serving.

This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a permanent spot in your kitchen repertoire. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and creates a soft, fluffy texture that holds the filling perfectly.

Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
