About Empanadas spinach and cheese

Empanadas Spinach and Cheese are a delicious and satisfying dish rooted in Latin American cuisine. These hand-held pastries feature a golden, flaky dough filled with a savory blend of sautéed spinach and creamy cheese like mozzarella or ricotta, often seasoned with garlic and spices to enhance the flavor. Rich in iron and vitamins A and C from the spinach, they offer a healthful boost of nutrients that support immune function and energy production. The cheese contributes calcium for bone health but also adds fat and calories that should be considered when enjoying this treat. While typically baked for a lighter option, some variations may be fried, impacting their overall calorie and fat content. Empanadas Spinach and Cheese are a versatile and flavorful choice perfect for snacks, appetizers, or even a light meal when enjoyed in moderation alongside a fresh salad for balance.
