Where to find ingredients
You can find mozzarella and parmesan in the refrigerated dairy aisles of local supermarkets and butcher shops. If you prefer a sharper taste, you may source a more mature parmesan, though standard store-bought grated parmesan works perfectly for this recipe.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan.
- Incorporate the oregano and black pepper, if using.
- Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Use the filling chilled, straight from the bowl.
- When assembling the pastries, ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking during the cooking process.
