Ingredients
- Filling
- 1/3 cup Sunsweet® Dried Cherries, coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup goat cheese, softened
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Pastry
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
To prepare filling, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and thyme and cook for about 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned. Stir in cherries and cook for 2 minutes more. Let cool and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir cream cheese, goat cheese and honey into cherry mixture.
Roll dough 1/8-inch thick on lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 rounds using a 3-inch cutter, rerolling scraps to make 16 rounds. Place 2 teaspoons filling onto the center of each dough round, then fold in half to enclose filling. Press edges with a fork to seal in filling and place on prepared baking sheet.
Cut three steam vents in each empanada with a small sharp knife and brush tops with egg.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 16 empanadas.
