Cómo preparar Empanadas Con Queso
- Cut 1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter into 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon white vinegar to the flour-butter mixture.
- Gently combine until a dough forms.
- Knead lightly for a few seconds. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 5 oz fresh spinach (chopped) until wilted. About 5-7 minutes.
- Set aside to cool completely (approximately 20-25 minutes).
- While the spinach cools, grate 1 cup of your favorite cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a blend) and chop 1/2 cup hazelnuts.
- Once the spinach is cool, gently mix it with the hazelnuts, 1/4 cup raisins, and grated cheese.
- Remove pastry dough from the refrigerator.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle.
- Brush the edges of the dough with 1 beaten egg (egg wash).
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
- Place the empanadas on a greased baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove empanadas from the refrigerator and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; keep an eye on them.
