About Empanada de queso
Empanada de Queso is a beloved pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, featuring a golden, flaky dough filled with melted cheese. Depending on regional variations, the dough can be prepared with wheat or corn flour, often enriched with butter or lard for its signature texture. The cheese filling varies but commonly includes queso fresco, mozzarella, or a similar soft cheese that melts beautifully when cooked. While empanadas offer a satisfying blend of protein and carbohydrates from the cheese and dough, they are typically fried, which increases their calorie content and fat levels. Baking, as a healthier alternative, can reduce the fat while preserving the dish’s rich flavor. Empanada de Queso is a versatile snack or appetizer, providing a delicious source of calcium and energy but is best enjoyed in moderation due to its indulgent ingredients.
