Egg and Bacon Breakfast Empanadas
Egg and Bacon Breakfast Empanadas are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that will satisfy your cravings for something savory and filling. These empanadas are made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese.
To make 4 servings of Egg and Bacon Breakfast Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup 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, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they are just set. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.
Spoon the egg and bacon mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges. Brush the edges with egg wash and fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and make a few small slits on top of each empanada to allow steam to escape.
Place the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy pastry, savory eggs, and smoky bacon.
Egg and Bacon Breakfast Empanadas are a perfect breakfast dish that can be enjoyed on-the-go or as a sit-down meal. The flaky pastry crust adds a satisfying crunch to the creamy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, while the melted cheese brings everything together with its gooey goodness. These empanadas are a great way to start your day with a hearty and delicious meal that will keep you full until lunchtime.
