Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Empanadas

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Empanadas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack. These empanadas are filled with crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese, all wrapped up in a flaky pastry crust.

To make 4 servings of Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
In a bowl, mix together the cooked bacon, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle shape and use a fork to crimp the edges together. Brush the tops of the empanadas with the beaten egg wash and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the empanadas for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Empanadas are the perfect combination of savory and flaky. The crispy bacon and melted cheese pair perfectly with the fluffy scrambled eggs, all wrapped up in a buttery pastry crust. They are a great option for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch, or even as a party appetizer.
