INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 12 empanada pastry rounds

  • Filling

    • 🧈 5 tablespoons butter
    • 🧅 3 green onions, minced
    • 🌽 1 (14 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
    • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 🥛 1 ½ cups whole milk
    • 🧀 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin.

2

Line the muffin cups with the 12 pastry rounds.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onions until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

4

Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a paste forms, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly, and cook until a thick sauce forms and starts to bubble, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half of the Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth; remove from heat. Stir sauce into corn mixture.

5

Fill pastry with corn mixture and top each with remaining Parmesan cheese.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
