Ingredients
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Separate one dough disc; top with one slice of ham and grated Queso Blanco.
- lightly wet (with water) the edge of one half of the disk, then seal it by folding the empanada in half, making the wet edge meet the dry. Apply a little bit of pressure on the edge to help dough stick together.
- With the tip of a fork, gently mark the edge of the empanada. Don’t put too much pressure to avoid cutting or piercing the dough.
- Place it on a greased oven sheet and repeat the process with the rest of the discs.
- Brush all closed discs with beaten egg and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
