Where to find ingredients
You can find flour, eggs, milk, and butter at local markets or general food retailers. For the cheese, visit the dairy section of local supermarkets; if you cannot find Minas cheese, a semi-firm, mild white cheese can be used as a substitute to maintain the desired texture.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, the 3 tablespoons of butter, the egg yolk, and the salt.
- Using your fingertips, work the mixture until you achieve a homogeneous, crumbly dough.
- In a blender, process the whole eggs, the cheese, the remaining tablespoon of butter, and the milk until smooth.
- Line the bottom and sides of individual empada molds with the prepared dough.
- Pour the blended filling into the molds, taking care not to fill them all the way to the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, or until the filling is golden and the dough is fully cooked.
