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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
