Recipe Card
ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 10 empanada discs
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- hot sauce, to taste
Method
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and mayo. Add ham and coriander and mix until combined.
Step 2
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and slowly scramble until eggs are cooked. Remove from heat and let cool enough to handle.
Step 3
Place empanada discs on a flat surface. Add about 2 tablespoon of the scrambled eggs. Do not overfill. Fold and press empanada edges together; seal edges with a fork.
Step 4
Heat a few inches of neutral oil in a pan. The oil is hot enough when you see the surface shimmer or a few flecks of water sizzle upon contact with the oil.
Step 5
Fry empanadas until golden and skin bubbles, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcrowd pan.
Step 6
Drain empanadas on a paper towel lined plate. Garnish with cilantro and serve with hot sauce.
