   Maybe you want yours cheesier or more salsa-y or with more meat.

6. 6

   Cut each rolled out pie crust into fourths.

7. 7

   Spoon a generous spoonful of filling onto a fourth.

8. 8

   (I must warn you: you will be sorely tempted to put in more filling than the crust can handle.

9. 9

   I know, because I do this every single time.

10. 10

    Nothing horrible will happen, it will just ooze out and not fit perfectly when you try to fold up the crust.

11. 11

    And your empanada wont be as pretty.

12. 12

    I have resigned myself to this fact.

13. 13

    I just want more filling.)

    Fold the pie crust over and pinch edges to seal.

15. 15

    Brush with beaten egg.

16. 16

    Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
