Where to find ingredients
Find pepperoni at standard supermarkets or local butcher shops. Requeijão cremoso is a specialized Brazilian-style cream cheese found in Latin American specialty grocers or high-end supermarkets; as a substitute for similar results, use a firm, full-fat cream cheese blended with a small amount of heavy cream.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni with the requeijão in a bowl, mixing until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste.
- Add the dried oregano to taste and stir thoroughly to ensure the herb is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use the chilled filling to stuff the pastry discs before frying or baking them.
Observations
This pastel filling brings together the robust, smoky flavor of pepperoni with the signature creaminess of requeijão to create a truly irresistible combination. It is a fantastic choice for those looking to whip up a flavorful snack, whether for a gathering, an afternoon treat, or a quick meal. Simply combine the ingredients and use the mixture cold as a filling to ensure the perfect texture and balanced taste in every bite.
