INGREDIENTS
Filling
- 🥩 ½ pound ground beef
- 🧈 3 tablespoons butter
- 🧅 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 🥚 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 14 pitted green olives, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons raisins
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
- 🧂 ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Dough
- 2 (17.5 ounce) packages frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 🥚 1 raw egg, lightly beaten
STEPS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer beef to a small bowl and pour off grease from the skillet.
Melt butter in the skillet and saute onions and green onion, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Return beef to skillet, and stir in hard-boiled eggs, olives, raisins, cumin, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl and chill until cooled, 10 to 20 minutes.
Unfold one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out into a 12-inch square. Cut four 5 1/2-inch rounds from the pastry. Brush a 1/2-inch border around the edges with water.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling onto half of the round. Fold over and press edges together firmly. Crimp edges with a fork and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets and filling.
Brush tops of empanadas with beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

💡 For better flavor, let the filling rest overnight in the refrigerator.To save time, use pre-made empanada discs instead of puff pastry.You can freeze unbaked empanadas for later use. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5-10 extra minutes to the baking time.
