Preparation method
- In a frying pan, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until it is very crispy
- Remove the bacon from the frying pan and place it on paper towels to remove the excess fat
- In a medium bowl, combine the fried and drained bacon with the chopped ham, chopped mozzarella, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped olives and chopped tomato
- Gently mix all the ingredients until you have a uniform mixture
- Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes before using so the flavours can meld and the filling becomes firmer for the pastel
