Preparation method
- Fry the chopped bacon in a pan until it is golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan, set it aside, and drain off the excess fat.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion briefly until it becomes translucent.
- Add the drained sweet corn to the pan with the onion and stir.
- Incorporate the requeijão cremoso into the corn and onion mixture.
- Fold the reserved crispy bacon back into the pan.
- Stir all ingredients together until you achieve a firm and homogeneous consistency.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to stuff the pastéis.
