Here is a really easy and simple way to make crab empanadas. Using premade pie dough saves allot of time and is almost as good as made from scratch.
- Prep Time: 30m
- Cook Time: 15m
- Total Time: 45m
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Crab meat
- 1 cup Manchego Mornay sauce
- 1/2 cup Chorizo Mix
- 2 tablespoons Chives, minced
- 1 package (14oz) pie crusts
- 1 Egg, beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400⁰. In a medium bowl add the Mornay and the chorizo mix, mix to combine using a rubber spatula. Add the crab and the chives and fold together until fully combined. Using a ring or biscuit cutter, cut 3” rounds from the pie crust. Place a scoop of the filling in the middle of each dough round. Fold over to form a half moon and enclose the filling. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges. Place the empanadas on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked. Serve immediately with Romesco sauce.
