Where to find ingredients
Find pepperoni and high-quality cream cheese—or authentic Brazilian-style requeijão from specialty importers—in the deli and dairy sections of local supermarkets. If requeijão is unavailable, a firm, full-fat cream cheese is the best substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the diced pepperoni with the requeijão cremoso in a mixing bowl until you achieve a uniform, creamy paste.
- Stir in the oregano to taste, ensuring it is well distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use the filling while chilled to stuff your pastry dough before proceeding to fry or bake as preferred.

It is the ultimate choice for those needing a quick, high-impact recipe, whether for hosting gatherings, casual snacking, or a satisfying meal. Simply blend the ingredients together and use the mixture chilled to ensure the ideal spreadable texture and a perfectly balanced flavor profile inside your pastry dough.
