Empanada Caprese is a delicious twist on the classic Latin American empanada, inspired by the flavors of Italian cuisine. This savory pastry features a filling of diced fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and fragrant basil, all enveloped in a golden, flaky dough. Rich in antioxidants from the tomatoes and loaded with calcium and protein from the mozzarella, it offers a balanced bite of nutrition and indulgence. The basil adds a fresh, herbaceous touch while bringing modest amounts of vitamins A and K. Though baked versions are available, empanadas are often fried, making them higher in fat and calories, so moderation is key. A perfect fusion of cultures, the Empanada Caprese is ideal for those seeking a snack or appetizer with vibrant, wholesome ingredients paired with a comforting and satisfying texture. Enjoy it as part of a well-rounded meal or as a flavorful treat!
