Time 35m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs
40 g stuffed green olives, chopped
95 g ham, finely chopped
30 g cheddar cheese, grated
3 sheets premade puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to hot 220C (425F). Line, or lightly grease, 2 baking trays.
  • Place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes, then drain and cool in cold water for 5 minutes. Peel and chop.
  • Combine the egg, olives, ham and Cheddar in a large bowl.
  • Cut out five 10cm rounds from each pastry sheet (15 in total). Place 1 tablespoon of filling onto the centre of each circle. Fold the pastry over, to create a half-circle, and seal the edges.
  • Place the empanadas on the prepared trays about 2cms apart. Brush with the egg yolk and bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and dark golden in colour.
  • You may need to swap the trays around at the 10 minute mark to cook evenly. If they start to brown too much loosely cover with foil. Serve hot.
