Where to find ingredients
Find pepperoni at local butchers or grocery deli counters. Catupiry is a specific Brazilian processed cheese found in the international section of specialty food markets or online Latin specialty grocers; as a substitute, you may use a high-quality, full-fat firm cream cheese or a soft spreadable cheese, though the texture and salt content will differ slightly from the original.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni and Catupiry in a bowl, mixing until you reach a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Add oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use the chilled filling to stuff your pastry dough before sealing and frying or baking until golden.
Observations

It is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a quick and savory snack option, ideal for parties or a casual meal. Simply combine the ingredients and use the mixture chilled to ensure the filling stays perfectly creamy and well-balanced inside the pastry dough.
