Advice
If you like, you can season the mixture with a pinch of curry or turmeric or with a few chopped rosemary needles or a sprig of peeled thyme.

Instead of scamorza, you can also opt for provola , asiago or fontina. We advise against using mozzarella: it would release the whey during cooking and make the preparation too moist.
