So sometime last fall, Mr T and I went to Williams-Sonoma to use some of the gift cards we had gotten for our wedding. We had a few dollars left on one of the cards, and Mr T spied this lovely little heart-shaped pie mold:
Clearly, this was a kitchen item we could not live without! Okay, so maybe we could mostly live without it -- after we got it home, it stayed, sadly unused, in its little box.
That is, until... empanada night!
The verdict: Yum!
In retrospect, it probably would have been a good idea if Mr. T & I had made a salad or something otherwise healthy and green to go along with these cheesy little wonders.
Ahh well.
Ginkochef, we did have a lot of filling left over, too:
We're thinking quesadillas later this week. How did you use your leftover filling?
We also have quite a few that we made but didn't cook-- we are going to try freezing these, uncooked, so we can just pop them in the oven for a tasty little treat when the fancy strikes.
Thanks, Pickel, for a delightful kitchen adventure!

oh my goodness, these are fabulous!!! i LOVE the idea of making them in different shapes. the hearts are adorable! we also had gads and gads of extra filling. apparently we are on the same wavelength, because i was also thinking about quesadillas and some empanadas for the freezer.
ReplyDeletei am so thrilled with our first foray into group cooking. i think we are off to a great start and i cant wait for our next cooking adventure!!! :)
me too! We're already so excited for next month...
ReplyDeleteone more random thought on the empanadas -- we were thinking that this would be really excellent fun to make with little kids. it will have to stay in the recipe file for when one of us has little munchkins!
