Empadão goiano

Brazil · Latin America

Short description: This savory pie is known for a generous mixed filling inside a golden pastry shell.
Ingredients: Pastry is filled with chicken, pork sausage, cheese, pequi, olives, tomato, onion, garlic, and sometimes guariroba.
Cultural note: The filling is intentionally layered and busy; the pie is closer to a full meal than a small hand pastry.
Common misconception: It is not a simple chicken pot pie; pequi, sausage, cheese, and olives are part of its regional identity.
