Roll out the chilled Cheese Pastry to 1/4 inch thick and cut out 3-inch diameter rounds (you should get about 40). Place 2 tablespoons of the filling on half of the rounds, and cover the filling with the remaining half of the rounds. Seal the edges with the tines of a fork. Place the filled empanadas on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.



This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
