Looking for a delicious appetizer that will impress your guests? Try making Mushroom and Spinach with Gruyere Empanadas! This dish is a perfect combination of savory mushrooms, fresh spinach, and creamy Gruyere cheese, all wrapped up in a crispy, flaky pastry shell.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface and cut them into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place a spoonful of the mushroom and spinach mixture onto each pie crust circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
