3 Ingredient Empanadas with Goat's Cheese and Corn Salsa
Print Recipe

These delicious empanadas only require 3 ingredients. You will need refrigerated rolled pie crusts, goat’s cheese and corn salsa. Combine those to make these delicious little treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts
  • 4 oz (115g) goat cheese
  • Small jar of corn salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C.
  2. Cut 16 rounds from the pie crusts, using a 3 inch round cookie cutter.
  3. Divide the goat cheese between the rounds.
  4. Dot the dough edges with water, then fold them in half and press with a fork to seal.
  5. Alternatively you can place one round on top of another one, to make circular instead of half-moon shapes.
  6. If you want to do that, you will end up with 8 large empanadas instead of 16 little ones.
  7. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Serve hot with corn salsa.

Notes

To get extra-shiny empanadas like these, simply paint them with a beaten egg yolk before baking. You can see how appetizing these are, and you can make them like this or make half-moon shapes instead. Empanadas are versatile enough to make great snacks for the family, nice packed lunches, buffet food, or even gifts if you are going to someone’s home. They make a change from turning up with flowers or chocolates anyway. Enjoy these homemade goat cheese empanadas with a store-bought corn salsa or with another dip that you like.
