Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 2 sheets of empanada pastry (square ones are best)
- 200 g bacon strips
- 8 processed cheese slices
- 120 g pitted dates
- 1 beaten egg
Step by step
- Roll out both sheets of pastry a little with a rolling pin.
- Lay down a layer of bacon strips first.
- Cover with a layer of cheese slices.
- Scatter over the chopped dates, generously: they're what makes it different.
- Add another layer of cheese and another of bacon.
- Close the pie by rolling it up like a Swiss roll and seal the edges with water.
- Prick the pastry with a fork so it can breathe and brush it with beaten egg.
- Bake at 200 °C fan for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the fan and give it another 10–15 minutes on the conventional setting.
