The Spinach and Feta Empanada combines the savory flavors of Mediterranean-inspired ingredients with the comforting appeal of Latin American cuisine. Wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry crust, this empanada is filled with a rich blend of sautéed spinach, tangy feta cheese, garlic, and a dash of herbs for enhanced flavor. While the pastry adds a satisfying texture, its buttery nature makes it higher in calories and fat. On the healthier side, spinach provides key vitamins like A, C, and K, along with iron and antioxidants, while feta cheese is a source of calcium and protein. However, the sodium content from feta and the pastry can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. This versatile empanada serves as a delicious snack or light meal, offering a fusion of flavor and nutrition in every bite.
