I Understood the Assignment: Ham & Cheese Empanadas 🐷 + 🧀 = 🥟 [WTF Ep 402]
These Ham & Cheese Empanadas are comfort food wrapped in golden, flaky pastry—perfect for a hearty snack, crowd-pleasing appetizer, or easy weeknight dinner. Each empanada is filled with savory diced ham and a generous scoop of thick, gooey cheddar cheese sauce that melts into every corner of the buttery dough.The real showstopper is the cheese sauce: a rich blend of sharp cheddar and milk, simmered until luxuriously smooth and creamy. It’s thick enough to hold its own inside the empanadas but melts beautifully as you bite into the warm pockets of flavor. Think of it as a molten cheddar center—perfectly balanced by the smoky saltiness of the ham.Serve these empanadas hot from the fryer. This recipe hits all the right notes: crispy, creamy, savory, and irresistibly cheesy.
