Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local markets or supermarkets in the refrigerated meat section for the bacon and ham, and in the dairy aisle for the muçarela. For the best result, use fresh, firm tomatoes and high-quality pitted green olives from the pantry section.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan over medium heat, fry the diced bacon until it is nice and 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 chopped ham, diced muçarela, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped olives, and diced tomato.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using; this allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up, making it easier to fill your pastéis.
