Where to find ingredients
You can find pepperoni at local grocery store deli counters or pre-packaged in the meat aisle. For Catupiry or authentic Brazilian-style requeijão, check the international or specialty cheese section of larger supermarkets; if unavailable, a thick, high-fat cream cheese acts as a common substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the diced pepperoni with the creamy Catupiry in a bowl until the mixture is uniform.
- Add oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Use the chilled filling to stuff the pastry dough before deep-frying or baking your pastéis.

It is an excellent choice for those looking for a quick and savory option, perfect for gatherings, appetizers, or an easy snack. Simply mix the ingredients together and use the mixture chilled as a filling to ensure a creamy texture and a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
