Empadinhas de queijo (Cheese-filled Pies)

By es123

Ingredients

• For the filling:
• 6 cups of grated Muenster or Havarti cheese (or you can mix different cheeses)
• 3 cups milk
• 12 eggs
• 4 1/2 Tbsp of melted butter or tub margarine
• Beat eggs well and mix all ingredients.

Preparation

Step 1

For the crust:
Prepare the dough just as you would for empadinha, but make only half the recipe because you don't need to make tops for the cheese ones.


Preheat the oven to 375° F.

1. Pinch off cherry-sized pieces of dough and use them to line the tartlet molds. Push the dough in with your thumb. The dough should just reach over the top of the mold.

2. Pour a spoonful of filling in each crust, 3/4 of the way up.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
