- Place the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, Parmesan cheese, and beef stock cubes into a blender jug.
- Blend all the batter ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Fold in the baking powder, mixing gently with a spoon or spatula.
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole with oil and lightly dust with flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the chicken filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pie is golden and set.
