Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the flour aisle, dairy section, and bakery supplies of your local supermarket or grocer; if needed, use grated Parmesan as the closest substitute for the cheese filling.
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 have a smooth, crumbly dough
- In a blender, beat the whole eggs, the grated cheese 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
