Where to find ingredients
Bacon and yellow sweet corn are widely available at any local supermarket or neighborhood grocery store. For the creamy cheese component, look for 'requeijão' in the specialty, international, or Latin American section of your grocery store. If unavailable, a high-quality, spreadable cream cheese or a smooth queso fundido can serve as a suitable substitute to keep the creamy, indulgent result.
Preparation method
- Fry the diced bacon in a pan until it reaches a nice golden-brown crunch
- Take the bacon out of the pan, set it aside, and drain any excess rendered fat
- In the same pan, quickly sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent
- Toss the drained sweet corn into the pan with the onion and stir well
- Fold in the creamy cheese spread, mixing until it combines with the corn and onion
- Mix the crispy fried bacon back into the pan
- Stir everything over low heat until the mixture reaches a firm, consistent texture
- Allow the filling to cool down completely before spooning it into your pastry dough
