Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store, specifically in the fresh produce, deli, and dry goods aisles. The linguiça calabresa is a specific Brazilian smoked sausage; if unavailable, a high-quality smoked kielbasa may be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon cube until the mixture is smooth
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate everything
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, spread the filling evenly over it, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish 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 down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian staple that is essential for any collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and creates a light, fluffy texture that holds the filling beautifully. The secret to its irresistible flavor lies in the well-sautéed mix of calabresa sausage and bacon, plus a generous sprinkling of grated cheese on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
