Ingredients
- A generous-sized poblano pepper
- A plentiful cup of finely grated Manchego cheese
- Two tablespoons of the same delightful Manchego cheese
- A dozen empanada pastry discs (like those from Goya®'s Tapas para Empanadas selection)
- An egg, nicely beaten
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later on.
Step 2
Next, get your poblano peppers ready by placing them directly on the grates of your gas stove. Let them cook over medium heat, giving them a nice flip now and then, until they're beautifully blackened and charred, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, pop them into a sealed plastic bag and let them cool off for a soothing 7 to 8 minutes. After that, gently peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds, and chop the flesh into cute little 1-inch squares.
Step 3
Now, it's time to assemble your empanadas. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of flavorful Manchego cheese onto each empanada disc, then top it off with 1/2 tablespoon of those deliciously charred poblano peppers. Fold the dough over the filling, creating a cozy little pocket of goodness. To seal the deal, moisten your fingertips with water and run them along the edges of the dough, pressing them together firmly. Place your beautiful empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and give them a nice coating of beaten egg for that golden touch.
Step 4
Pop your empanadas into the preheated oven and let them bake until they turn a lovely golden brown hue, which should take around 24 to 26 minutes. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you eagerly await your delicious homemade treats!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your cheese fresh and flavorful by storing it in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in wax paper in the refrigerator. This will help prevent it from absorbing unwanted odors and moisture.
- 2. To preserve the freshness of your poblano peppers, store them in a paper bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This will help maintain their crispness and flavor for longer.
