Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the deli section, the cheese counter, and the produce aisle; bacon and ham are usually available at the meat counter, and if needed, use mild cheese as a substitute for mozzarella.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until it is nicely crisp.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain off the excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the fried, 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.
- Refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes before using so the flavours blend and the filling firms up for the pastry.
