Egg and Cheese Empanadas

Egg and Cheese Empanadas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These savory pastries are filled with a mixture of scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and flavorful spices, all wrapped up in a crispy, golden-brown crust.

To make Egg and Cheese Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup scrambled eggs
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each one out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spoon the mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Bake the empanadas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of fluffy eggs and melted cheese in every bite.
Egg and Cheese Empanadas are a perfect dish for breakfast or brunch, and they are also great for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With their crispy crust and savory filling, these empanadas are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
