Where to find ingredients
You can find mozzarella and parmesan cheese in local supermarkets and grocery stores. As a substitute for fresh grating, pre-shredded cheese blends can be used, though freshly grated cheese is recommended for better melting.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese
- Add the oregano and black pepper, if using
- Mix all ingredients well until the seasonings are evenly distributed
- Use the filling cold, directly from the bowl
- When assembling the pastéis, ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during preparation
