Where to find ingredients
You can find these cheeses at the dairy or deli counters of your local supermarket. Freshly grated cheese is recommended for the best texture, so consider buying blocks and grating them at home.
Preparation method
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella and the grated parmesan.
- Add the oregano and black pepper, if you are using it.
- Toss the ingredients well until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
- Use the filling cold, straight from the bowl.
- When assembling, ensure the edges of the pastry dough are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
