EMPANADILLAS WITH HAM AND GOAT’S CHEESE

Preheat your oven to 200 deg C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper . Heat 1 tbs of peanut oil in a pan and add 1 peeled and chopped onion , cook until the onion softens . Add 1 tbs of minced garlic and stir till well combined . Put 150gm of goat's cheese in a bowl along with 175m chopped ham ,50 gm of capers,1/2 tsp of sweet paprika and the onion mixture . I used puff pastry sheets and an 8 cm fluted pastry cutter . Using a tsp , put an equal amount of the cheese mixture in the centre of each round . Dampen the edges of the pastry with a little water and fold one half over to form a crescent and enclse the filling . Pinch the edges together with your fingers to seal and then press with the tines of a fork to seal further . Transfer to the baking trays . Make a small incision in the top of each pastry and brush with a beaten egg to glaze . Bake until the pastry is risen and golden brown ...15- 20 minutes .
