Ingredients
- 2 puff pastry doughs for empanadas
- 175 grams of dates
- 250 grams of sliced bacon
- 8 slices of cheese to melt
- 1 egg
Preparation
- The recipe is very simple and does not require the previous cooking of any food before putting it in the oven. We will roll out one of the puff pastry doughs to serve as the base of our empanada.
- Once we have the puff pastry that it will make as a base, well stretched, we will only have to layer the dates first, the bacon second, and the cheese slices last. It should be uniform throughout the dough so we will try to add the same amounts at each point of our pie.
- The following will be roll out the second and last puff pastry that will help us to close and seal our pie. We will place it on top once stretched and with the help of a fork we will close the edges of it.
- The last step is beat an egg and apply it on top of the patty with the help of a brush or kitchen brush ... This will make our empanada look richer and tastier.
- We put it in the oven, with fire both above and below, at 200ºC for 15-20 minutes.
- And ready! Empanada ready to eat or to chill and take to the beach or pool.
