Where to find ingredients
You can find pepperoni in the deli or packaged meat aisle of most grocery stores. For the Catupiry, look for Brazilian-style requeijão or a firm, spreadable processed cream cheese in the international or specialty cheese section of your local supermarket. As a substitute if Catupiry is unavailable, use a high-quality, firm-style cream cheese or a mix of cream cheese and a touch of heavy cream.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni and the Catupiry in a bowl, mixing until you achieve a uniform, spreadable paste.
- Add the oregano to taste and stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use the filling while chilled to stuff your pastry dough before sealing and frying or baking.

It is a fantastic option for those looking for a fast, punchy flavor profile perfect for parties, appetizers, or a quick snack. Simply fold the ingredients together and use the mixture chilled to ensure the ideal creamy texture and balanced taste when sealed inside your dough.
