Garlic Parmesan Philly Cheese Empanadas
These Garlic Parmesan Philly Cheese Empanadas are a delightful twist on traditional empanadas, filled with creamy Philadelphia cream cheese, garlic, and a rich blend of Parmesan cheese. They are perfect as an appetizer or a snack, offering a crispy exterior and a savory, cheesy filling.
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients until they are well combined and smooth. Roll out the empanada dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the dough into circles, approximately 4 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Arrange the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the empanadas with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake the empanadas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the empanadas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Philly Cheese Empanadas warm!
