200g bacon, chopped
200g cheddar cheese, grated or cubed
200g cheddar cheese, grated or cubed
Where to find ingredients
Bacon: Look for good quality streaky bacon at local butchers or the chilled meat section of any major supermarket. Cheddar: You can find standard cheddar in the dairy or cheese aisle of most grocery stores. For better melting, go for a block of cheddar and grate it yourself, as pre-shredded varieties often contain anti-caking agents that affect the texture.
Preparation method
- Fry the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it turns nice and crispy
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain off the excess fat
- In the same skillet (or in a separate bowl), toss the crispy bacon with the cheddar cheese
- Stir well until the cheddar starts to melt and fully coats the bacon bits
- Use the warm mixture as a filling for your pastéis
