Where to find ingredients
Mozzarella, parmesan, and provolone are easily found in the dairy aisle of any local supermarket. Gorgonzola can usually be found in the specialty cheese section or deli counter of larger grocery stores. If authentic imported Brazilian-style mozzarella is unavailable, standard low-moisture block mozzarella is a perfect substitute. For those looking for specific Brazilian ingredients, check the specialty imported foods aisle or local ethnic grocery stores that stock Latin American goods.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, and gorgonzola cheeses
- Add the dried oregano to the cheese blend to taste
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined
- Let the filling cool down completely before using it to assemble your pastéis
- Make sure to seal the edges of the pastéis tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during the cooking process
