Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the chilled meats section, the deli counter, the cheese aisle, the egg shelf, and the produce section. If needed, substitute ham with a similar sliced cooked ham and mozzarella with a mild melting cheese.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until it is nicely crisp.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain off the excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the fried, drained bacon with the chopped ham, chopped mozzarella, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped olives and chopped tomato.
- Mix all the ingredients gently until you have a uniform filling.
- Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes before using so the flavours blend and the filling firms up for the pastry.
