Where to find ingredients
Most supermarkets carry mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone cheeses in their dairy sections. Gorgonzola, a blue cheese, is often found in specialty cheese sections or the import aisle. If you cannot find gorgonzola, a sharp, aged cheddar can be used as a substitute, though it will alter the flavor profile. Oregano is widely available in the spice aisle of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the mozzarella, Parmesan, provolone, and gorgonzola cheeses
- Add oregano to taste to the cheese mixture
- Gently stir all ingredients until well combined
- Use the cold filling to assemble the pastéis
- Be sure to seal the edges of the pastéis well to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking
