Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 sheets (240 grams) puff pastry (frozen, thawed, reduced fat)
  • 1 cup low-fat grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly whisked
  • Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dsing a 9cm round cookie cutter, cut 18 discs from pastry.

  • Step 2: Place 1 teaspoon of cheese in centre of each disc, brush edges with egg and fold to enclose and pinch edges to seal.

  • Step 3: Heat enough oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat to reach a depth of 5cm (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly with absorbing any oil).

  • Step 4: Deep-fry the empanadas, in batches, for 2 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

  • Step 5: Drain on paper towel.
