I usually grab store-bought empanada discs or even puff pastry sheets to save time. Prep your cheese: Grate or crumble your chosen cheese. Fill 'em up: Place a generous spoonful of cheese in the center of each disc. Fold and seal: Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly shut – this is key to keeping all that cheesy goodness inside! Cook 'em: You can either bake them until golden brown (usually around 375°F/190°C for 15-20 minutes) or shallow fry them for a crispier texture. I often air-fry mine for a healthier, less messy option! Feeling adventurous? You can also make sweet cheese empanadas! For these, I love using a mix of cream cheese and a little sugar, sometimes with a hint of vanilla or cinnamon. They're like a dessert dream!
