Ham and Cheese Empanadas

Steps

1. Cut the ham and cheese into small cubes. Mix them in a large bowl by hand until you get an even mix.
2. Make up to 12 ham and cheese balls.
3. Put a filling ball on each disc of dough.
4. Close in half, pressing the edge with your fingers.
5. Seal with a fork or make the traditional “repulgue” fold.
6. Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes.

Tip: Keep the filling cold and the balls compact so the empanadas close easily and don't leak.
