Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon 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, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking dish 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 tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat the oven to high heat 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.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian staple that deserves a place in your kitchen repertoire. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and results in a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the hearty filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon until golden and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is always a crowd-pleaser.
