Open-Faced Empanada With Idol Cheesedog

For this recipe, you’re trying two Filipino faves in one recipe- cheesedog and empanada. Usually served as a closed pastry with meat inside, empanada is dainty delicacy enjoyed by millions of Filipinos.

For this recipe, you’ll be mixing things up a bit in terms of presentation but the dish will still taste amazing!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3 pcs CDO Regular Idol Cheesedog, sliced
• Vegetable Oil
• 10 pcs Wonton Wrapper
• 2 Tbsps Unsalted Butter
• 2 Tbsps All Purpose Flour
• 2 cups Fresh Milk
• ¼ cup Cheese, grated
• ½ cup Carrots, julienned
• ½ cup Papaya, julienned
• 1/3 cup Red Onion, julienned
• Parsley, chopped

Procedure:

1. In a pan over medium heat, fry your CDO Idol Cheesedog slices. Once done, place on a plate covered with paper towels. Set aside for later.
2. In the same pan, add a bit more oil- just enough so you can deep fry your wonton wrappers. When the wrappers float, press down in the middle of each piece to form a small cup. Let them cook until they turn golden brown. Once done, set aside on a wire rack.
3. In a saucepan, mix together melted butter and flour for 2 minutes. Once it forms into a paste, add fresh milk gradually- still stirring.
4. Next, add your grated cheese and stir until it completely melts and combines with the butter-milk mixture.
5. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: cooked CDO Idol Cheesedog slices, red onions, papaya, and carrots. Once the ingredients are evenly dispersed, pour in about 3-5 tablespoons of the sauce until the mixture is coated.
6. To assemble your empanadas, stuff each wonton cup with the veggie-cheesedog mixture. Top with chopped parsley as garnish.

These little empanadas are not only delicious, they’re also insta-worthy! Grab your camera and fix your kitchen lighting. You’ll get tons of likes (and questions about the recipe!) with this dainty dish.
