oregano, to taste
Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the chilled meats section, the produce aisle, and the dairy case; oregano is usually in the dried herbs and spices aisle.
Preparation method
- Bring the grated calabresa sausage and chopped onion to a skillet
- Sauté for a few moments until the onion softens and the sausage is lightly browned
- Drain off all the excess fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mozzarella
- Sprinkle the oregano over the mixture and mix everything well
- Let the filling cool completely before assembling the pastries to prevent the heat from melting the cheese too soon
Observations
This filling brings together the smoky flavor of the sausage with the creaminess of melted cheese. The key is to let the mixture cool so the cheese does not melt completely before frying, which helps create the perfect bite when you cut into the pastry.
