Caprese Empanadas are delicious appetizers full of Italian-Spanish flavor. Tomatoes, basil & mozzarella baked in an empanada for easy summer entertaining.
Garnish: olive oil with balsamic vinegar for drizzle
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan by spraying with nonstick spray.
Taking one empanada disc at a time, pinch edges into small pleats to make the shape of a small bowl. Press these pleats firmly against the edge to hold the shape.
Place into muffin pan and cover with a slightly dampened paper towel.
Continue with remaining empanada discs.
Divide 3 ounces of mozzarella evenly between the empanada bowls.
Add the chopped tomato and basil.
Sprinkle them with salt and pepper to your taste.
Top with remaining mozzarella.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until empanadas and cheese are browned.
