- 175 grams of dates
- 250 grams of sliced bacon
- 8 slices of cheese to melt
- 1 egg
Our recipe, step by step
- The recipe is very simple and does not require the previous cooking of any food before putting it in the oven. We will roll out one of the puff pastry doughs to serve as the base of our empanada.
- Once we have the puff pastry that it will make as a base, well stretched, we will only have to layering dates First, The bacon after, and finally, the slices of cheese. It should be uniform throughout the dough so we will try to add the same amounts throughout our base of the pie.
- The following will be roll out the second and last puff pastry that will help us to close and seal our pie. We will place it on top once stretched and with the help of a fork we will close the edges of it. We will also puncture a little on top so that the empanada does not inflate and burst.
- The last step will be beat an egg and apply it on top of the patty with the help of a brush or kitchen brush ... This will make our empanada look shiny, richer and tastier.
- We put it in the oven, with fire both above and below, at 200ºC for 15-20 minutes.
- And ready! Pie ready to eat or to chill and savor.
There are ingredients that you can change according to your taste, for example:
- If you like ham more than bacon, you can change one for the other.
- If you do not eat meat and you want a somewhat more vegan patty, you can use instead of the bacon, pepper or zucchini previously sautéed in the pan with a little salt. You add it to the pie later as we have done with the bacon.
