Where to find ingredients
You can find pepperoni at local butcher shops or the deli counter in larger supermarkets. Requeijão cremoso is a specialized Brazilian cream cheese; if unavailable, a thick, high-quality cream cheese can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the diced pepperoni and the requeijão in a bowl, mixing until you achieve a uniform, creamy paste.
- Add the oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use the filling while chilled to stuff your pastry dough before frying or baking to perfection.
Observations
This pastel filling marries the bold, spiced punch of pepperoni with the smooth, velvety texture of requeijão for an irresistible combination. It is a fantastic choice for those who need a quick, delicious solution for snacks, parties, or a hearty meal. Simply combine the ingredients well and use the mixture chilled to ensure the filling stays perfectly creamy and well-balanced inside your dough.
