Where to find ingredients
Most of these cheeses are standard in any Irish supermarket; look in the 'cheese and deli' aisle. For the creamy soft cheese, you can use regular cream cheese or mascarpone; both are widely available. If you're looking for authentic Brazilian ingredients, specialty 'Latin American' food shops in major cities like Dublin often stock specific brands of requeijão, but standard cream cheese works perfectly fine as a local substitute for this recipe.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan
- Stir in the crumbled gorgonzola and the creamy soft cheese
- Add a sprinkle of dried oregano to your liking
- Mix everything together really well until you have a smooth, consistent filling
- Pop it in the fridge to firm up, then use the filling chilled when making your pastéis
