Baby empanadas, also known as turnovers, are delightful appetizers that are perfect for any occasion. Their flaky puff pastry and savory filling make them a crowd-pleaser. This recipe uses simple ingredients and is easy to follow, resulting in delicious and mouth-watering mini empanadas that your friends and family will love.
- Ensure the puff pastry is well-chilled before working with it to make it easier to handle and to help it bake up nicely.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the mushrooms and scallions for a more uniform filling.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with water before sealing to ensure a tight seal and prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- For a glossy finish, brush the empanadas with an egg wash made from a beaten egg before baking.
- Preheat your oven to ensure consistent baking and a golden-brown crust.
- Allow the empanadas to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and to avoid burning your mouth.
Enjoy your homemade baby empanadas, golden and crisp on the outside, with a savory mushroom and scallion filling on the inside. They're perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a main course when paired with a fresh salad. Feel free to get creative and try different fillings to suit your taste.
