400g shredded mozzarella cheese
100g grated parmesan cheese
Oregano to taste
Black pepper to taste (optional)

  2. Add the oregano and black pepper, if using.
  3. Stir all the ingredients well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  4. Use the filling cold, straight from the bowl.
  5. When assembling the pastries, ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
