Where to find ingredients
You can find mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan in the dairy aisle of local supermarkets like Shop N Save or NewWorld. Gorgonzola is usually found in the specialty deli or cheese section. Requeijão cremoso (catupiry-style) is a specific Brazilian soft cheese product; if unavailable, a thick cream cheese or soft processed cheese may serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan cheeses.
- Add the crumbled gorgonzola and the requeijão cremoso.
- Season with dried oregano to your liking.
- Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Refrigerate the mixture to firm up, then use the filling chilled when assembling your pastéis.
