Where to find ingredients
You can find these cheeses in the dairy aisle or the deli section of most local supermarkets. For the best quality, look for aged parmesan and authentic Italian-style provolone. Gorgonzola can be substituted with blue cheese if needed, though gorgonzola is preferred for the original flavor profile.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, and gorgonzola.
- Add the desired amount of oregano to the cheese mixture.
- Toss all the ingredients gently until they are well incorporated.
- Ensure the filling is chilled before using it to assemble your pastéis.
- Seal the edges of the pastry dough tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during the frying or baking process.
