Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the flour, dairy, and bakery aisles of local supermarkets, as well as at neighbourhood kiryana shops and cheese counters. If Parmesan is unavailable, a hard, salty aged cheese can be used as a substitute, but Parmesan is ideal.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of butter, the egg yolk, and the salt
- Using your fingertips, work the mixture until you get a smooth, crumbly dough
- In a blender, blend the whole eggs, the grated or cubed cheese, the tablespoon of butter, and the milk
- Line the bottom and sides of individual empada moulds with the prepared dough
- Pour the blended filling into the moulds, without covering them completely
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is golden and the pastry is cooked
