Ingredients for the Calabresa Sausage Pie:
- 1 smoked Calabresa sausage (or smoked kielbasa), sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Tomato slices
- 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- Olives (optional)
- Dried oregano to taste
How to Prepare the Calabresa Sausage Pie:
- Start by pan-searing the sliced sausage. Heat a skillet with a drizzle of oil over medium heat and sauté until lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, oil, grated Parmesan, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour while blending. If your blender isn’t powerful enough, transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the flour with a spatula.
- Once the batter is well mixed, stir in the baking powder.
- To assemble: Pour a layer of batter into the bottom of a greased and floured baking pan (an 8×3 inch pan works best).
- Spread the batter, then add a layer of filling: tomato slices, sausage, mozzarella, olives (if using), and a sprinkle of oregano.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and deliciously crusty.
- Remove from the oven. This snack is incredibly fluffy and flavorful, with the melted cheese adding a perfect touch.
Pro Tip:
Pre-cooking the sausage ensures it is perfectly cooked inside the pie. For variety, you can substitute the Calabresa sausage with canned sardines or tuna.
