🇧🇷 Brazil recipe
Empadão
Brazil's magnificent savory pie, empadão features a rich, crumbly butter crust encasing a generous filling of shredded chicken, hearts of palm, olives, corn, and hard-boiled eggs. A celebration dish served at holidays and family gatherings, it is the Brazilian answer to a pot pie, but more elegant and with a distinctly tropical filling.
