Where to find ingredients
Pepperoni can be found at local supermarkets or delicatessen counters. For requeijão cremoso, check Brazilian specialty shops or look for substitutes such as full-fat cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to achieve the traditional texture, though requeijão is highly recommended for authenticity.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni with the creamy requeijão until you reach a smooth, uniform paste.
- Add the oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Use the filling cold to stuff the pastry dough before frying or baking.

It is an excellent choice for those seeking a quick yet flavourful option for gatherings, snacks, or a speedy meal. Simply mix the ingredients together and use the mixture cold to ensure the perfect consistency and a well-balanced flavour in every bite.
