Portuguese Chorizo and Mozzarella Stuffed Bread

If you love cheese as much as we do, this recipe is so right for you! You can eat this at any time, but we prefer it when is still hot, this way the cheese will melt in your mouth, and the chorizo works perfectly here!

If you love species as much as we do, you can put some chili or add some spicy sausage as well.

Be delighted with this traditional recipe!

You can do a big one or small portions as we did! This recipe will make 6 portions.
