sausage & goat cheese empanadas



Decided to try another variation on the easy empanadas that I posted about before HERE.  This time I used the JR Grands biscuits for smaller empanadas.  Bothe are great recipes but these are definitely better suited as appetizers or a side dish rather than a main course.  The preparation is essentially the same, although this time I used veggie sausage patties and goat cheese!

Ingredients
  • 4 Veggie Sausage Patties
  • 1 small log or container of goat cheese
  • 1 tube Jr's Grand Biscuits 
  1. Cook the veggie sausage over medium heat in a nonstick skillet using a wooden spoon to break up into sausage crumbles.
  2. Lay out the Jr biscuits on a cookie sheet and use the heel of your palm to flatten them into circles.
  3. Apply a light smear of goat cheese to the center of each circle and then add a spoonful of sausage to each as well.  
  4. Fold the circle over to create a half moon shape.
  5. Seal the edges using your fingers and then use a fork to create an "empanada look" by pressing with the fork all around the edge.
  6. Bake according to directions or until empanadas are golden brown.
