Empanada Filling

Method

Empanada Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix together the guava preserve, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Empanadas

    Roll out empanada dough on a floured surface. Cut out circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the guava and cheese filling in the center of each circle.

  3. 3

    Seal the Empanadas

    Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decorative touch.

  4. 4

    Bake the Empanadas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little olive oil or egg wash for a golden finish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
