Where to find ingredients
You can find these cheeses at major supermarkets like FairPrice, Cold Storage, or specialty delis in Singapore. For the 'requeijão', look for Brazilian specialty import shops; as a close substitute, you can use high-fat cream cheese or a thick Greek yogurt, though the texture and salt content will differ slightly.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan cheeses.
- Add the chopped gorgonzola cheese and the creamy requeijão to the bowl.
- Sprinkle in the dried oregano to taste.
- Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a uniform and creamy consistency.
- Place in the refrigerator to firm up, and use the filling chilled to stuff your pastéis.
