Spicy Pastrami and Cheese Empanadas

Ingredients - Serves 6

Let's Get Started

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped pastrami, shredded cheese, and chopped jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Roll out the empanada dough and cut out round disc shapes for empanadas (you can use a round cutter).
  4. Place a spoonful of the pastrami mixture on the center of each empanada disc. Fold the disc and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
  5. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, which gives a nice golden color when baked.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
  7. Allow the empanadas to cool for a few minutes before serving.
