Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the well-drained heart of palm with the chopped ham, grated mozzarella, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
- Add the chopped olives and diced tomato to the mixture.
- Fold in the requeijão cremoso.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Use the filling chilled to assemble your pastries.
