Cheese Empanadas

These Cheese Empanadas are made with sweet potato and brie, and are easy to make using pre-made shortcrust pastry sheets. They are full of flavour and spice, and a total crowd-pleaser! Our Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste and Gran Luchito Chipotle Honey can be your best friends while you’re cooking up that special meal for your family and add a bit of Mexican magic to the day. The Gran Luchito Chipotle Honey is used to caramelise a red pepper and onion mixture, and this flavoursome concoction is then mixed with the roasted mashed sweet potato and cheese. A final spoonful of Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste is added for an extra kick! Pastry circles are filled with this tasty mixture and a piece of brie is pushed into the filling and then sealed by pressing the edges. Once they are baked the cheese will melt inside, and combined with the delicious sweet potato and chipotle it’s a match made in heaven. These tasty Cheese Empanadas can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the freezer, just place them on a tray that fits into your freezer and cover it with cling film, and make sure they are thawed completely before adding a little coating of egg wash on the outside and baking them in the oven until golden.
