Where to find ingredients

Look for eggs, all-purpose flour, and vegetable oil in the baking aisle; milk and parmesan cheese in the dairy section; and extra virgin olive oil in the oil and vinegar aisle. If you are looking for specific Brazilian ingredients or authentic canned items like sardines, check the 'International' aisle or a local Latin grocer.

- In a blender, process all the batter ingredients until smooth, airy, and well-combined
- Lightly grease a baking dish with butter and dust it with a little all-purpose flour
- Pour about half of the batter into your prepared baking dish
- Evenly distribute your chosen filling over the base layer of the batter
