Easy Baked Empanadas With Guava Jam

Baked empanadas stuffed with guava jam and cream cheese is a super easy dessert. We have been known to enjoy them with our morning cup of coffee for breakfast because they are that good!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg Puff pastry dough for empanadas
  • 8 oz Cream cheese (or vegan alternative)
  • 1 scoop Guava jam
  • 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
  • 1 Egg yolk (or vegan alternative)
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Allow your empanada disc to reach room temperature before assembling since this will make the dough easier to work with.
  • Next, take your empanada disc and lay cream cheese and guava over half of the circle. I usually add about 1.5 teaspoons of each.
  • Fold the empty half over the dough containing the filling. If the edges do not stick together, moisten the edges with water before using a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Add An Egg Wash To Your Baked Empanadas For A Shiny Finish
  • To create an egg wash mix together an egg yolk and a little bit of water. Coat the entire empanada.
  • Bake until golden brown which is about 20 to 25 minutes.
