250g muçarela, a mild-flavored cheese with a soft, melty texture
Where to find ingredients
You can find bacon at local supermarkets in the butcher's aisle. Since muçarela is a specific Brazilian cheese style, look for high-moisture mozzarella or a similar semi-soft, mild melting cheese at your local deli or dairy section.
Preparation method
- Place the bacon in a skillet and fry over medium heat until it turns golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess fat.
- Combine the crispy bacon with the shredded muçarela until the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Allow the filling to cool down to room temperature before using it to stuff your pastries.

It is the perfect choice for those looking to add a bold, irresistible touch to their handmade savory pastries. The process is quick and straightforward, making it an excellent go-to for casual dinners, party platters, or satisfying afternoon snacks.
