Where to find ingredients
You can find bacon, ham, mozzarella, and fresh produce at local wet markets or supermarket delis. For high-quality ingredients, specialty grocery stores offer a wide selection of cured meats and imported cheeses.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it becomes very crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crispy, drained bacon with the diced ham, mozzarella, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped olives, and diced tomato.
- Mix all ingredients gently until the filling is well combined.
- Refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes before using so the flavors meld and the mixture becomes firm enough to fill the pastries.
