Where to find ingredients
You can find pepperoni at local delis or butcher shops. Requeijão or thick, high-quality cream cheese can be found in the dairy section of major supermarkets. As a substitute for catupiry, use a heavy-duty, spreadable cream cheese if the original is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Mix the chopped pepperoni with the catupiry until you achieve a uniform, spreadable paste.
- Add the oregano to taste and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the mixture.
- Use the filling while cold to stuff your pastry shells before deep-frying or baking them.

It is an excellent go-to for those looking for a quick and punchy filling, perfect for gatherings, light snacks, or speedy meals. Simply combine the ingredients and use the mixture cold to ensure the perfect creamy texture and balanced flavor profile inside your pastry dough.
