You can find these cheeses at major local supermarkets in the dairy or gourmet cheese aisle. For authentic Brazilian flair, muçarela is the standard stretching cheese; if unavailable, a mild low-moisture mozzarella serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the muçarela, parmesan, provolone, and gorgonzola.
- Add the dried oregano to the cheese mixture.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
- Use the chilled filling to assemble your pastéis.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the dough firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
