Cachapas Antonio Cruz Vaamonde | MasterChef Australia

Yield: 4

Author: Traditional, but not

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 15 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Ingredients

Cachapas

• 100 g fresh mozzarella
• 125 g halloumi
• 50 g feta
• 300 g frozen corn
• 80 g plain flour
• 120 ml milk
• 1 egg
• 30 g caster sugar
• 8 g salt
• 80 g butter

Instructions

Cachapas

1. Drain the cheeses and pat dry with paper towel. Grate cheeses coarsely into a bowl, mix well and set aside.
2. Heat a large round cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Set 70 g of the corn kernels aside. Place the remaining kernels into a blender. Add the remaining ingredients, except the butter, and blend until mostly smooth and only some coarsely chopped corn remains. Stir in the whole kernels.
3. Swirl a little butter in the hot pan and ladle in a quarter of the batter. Spread out with the back of the ladle until approximately 20 cm in diameter. Cook until well caramelised and mostly set, about 2-3 minutes then carefully flip over.
4. Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese mix over one half of the Cachapa and cook for 2 minutes. Fold the Cachapa in half and transfer to a warm plate.
5. Top with a tablespoon of butter and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 3 more Cachapas.
6. To serve, place onto serving plates and add a generous dollop of sour cream on the side.
