#9 - Breakfast Empanada Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan. Mix well.

4. 4

   Scramble the Eggs

   In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then scramble them in a nonstick skillet until fully cooked. Add the scrambled eggs to the filling mixture and stir to combine.

5. 5

   Assemble Empanadas

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out empanada dough and cut into circles. Place a generous spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold over, and crimp the edges to seal.

6. 6

   Bake

   Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
