Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (7.5 ounce) packages refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (not the layered varieties)
Cornmeal for rolling
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (10 ounce) packages white mushrooms, stems trimmed, cut into small dice
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center; heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, stirring until moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in chilies, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a medium bowl; stir in goat cheese until cheese melts. Cool to room temperature.
  • Separate biscuits onto a cornmeal-coated work surface. Sprinkle with cornmeal as necessary, and roll each one into a 5 inch circle. Fill each one, using a scant 2 Tbs. filling and leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. (At this point, can be frozen up to 2 weeks.)
  • Brush tops with oil. Bake until golden, 16 to 20 minutes (longer if frozen). Makes 20.

These empanadas were the worst I have ever had. The filling was tasteless and the pastry was tough.

I don't recommend this recipe. The empanadas were dry and the filling was bland.

The empanadas were good, but they were not as good as I expected. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The empanadas were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I would use less oil next time.

I substituted the goat cheese for feta cheese and they were still delicious! The empanadas were crispy and the filling was flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
