Directions Empanadas de Tomate, Queso, y Albahaca (Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella Empanadas)
Directions
-
Combine tomatoes and basil in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Mix in mozzarella cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Let marinate at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Arrange pastry discs on a flat work surface. Dab a little water around the rims. Place a large tablespoonful of the tomato mixture in the center, fold pastry over and press with a fork to seal.
Transfer empanadas to the prepared baking trays. Brush mustard over tops, sprinkle sesame seeds over mustard.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
