  • Cheese empanadas have shorter baking times. We recommend you bake them separately and take them promptly out of the oven once the dough rises and they are golden brown. Overcooking cheese empanadas will cause them to break and leak. 


TIPS

  • Do not cover the empanadas while baking
  • Do not microwave.
  • You can use an air fryer if you like.

MICROWAVE

We don’t recommend warming our empanadas in the microwave. If you just can’t wait to enjoy them, microwave them for 60 seconds. For a crispier taste, after microwaving, bake them for an extra minute in a toaster oven.
