"Easy to make" Empanada

My son, as most of the 3 years old, is a picky eater. So I've been trying some "techniques" to hide vegetables. This empanada was a very successful experience that turned out healthy, beautiful and delicious!


 
Filling:

I used leftover chicken breast with white sauce. I added some frozen spinach and Havarti cheese.
You can use any filling you want (ham and cheese, totally veggie with white sauce...).
I prepared the filling and let it cooled.
I used a regular thawed pie dough.
You spread the filling on one half and cover with the other half.


Now to close the edges you  pinch the edges.


I brushed my "empanada" with a beaten egg and sprinkled with sesame seed.
Put it in the very high oven for 10-15 minutes.


I baked it on an aluminum foil to make it easy to put it in the fridge and save it for the next day...


Your healthy and delicious meal is ready!
Enjoy,

Camila Aguirre.
