Where to find ingredients
You can find shredded mozzarella and parmesan at any local supermarket or neighborhood grocer, usually in the dairy or cheese aisles. If you cannot find pre-shredded mozzarella, buy a block and shred it yourself for better melting results.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan.
- Add the oregano and black pepper, if using.
- Stir all the ingredients well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Use the filling cold, straight from the bowl.
- When assembling the pastries, ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
