Where to find ingredients
Find pepperoni at local deli counters or supermarket butcher sections. Catupiry or high-quality creamy processed cheese can be found in the dairy aisle of international grocery stores. If you cannot source authentic Catupiry, a high-quality, thick, spreadable cream cheese is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni and the catupiry in a mixing bowl until you achieve a uniform paste.
- Sprinkle in the oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Use the chilled filling to stuff the pastry dough before deep-frying or baking.
Observations
This pastel filling blends the bold, smoky notes of pepperoni with the velvet-smooth texture of requeijão to create an addictive contrast. It is the perfect solution for a quick snack or a savory treat for gatherings. Simply stir the ingredients together until well combined and use the mixture chilled to ensure the filling stays perfectly creamy and well-balanced during cooking.
