And we have been literally having these empanadas for lunch/dinner or snack courtesy the New Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven.
We recently got to try this powerful kitchen gadget that’s a ” combination of superheated steam and conventional oven”.
It has 5 cooking modes – Toast, Warm, Bake/Reheat, Broil/Grill and Pizza!
In other words, thislow-profile, countertop oven is POWERFUL Enough to do most of your cooking.
It needs NO-Preheating / Defrosting – Which is AMAZING cause who has time to do that when hunger strike!
It can fit a12″ pizza and comes with aBroiling Pan and Crisper Tray (that’s dishwasher safe)…I’m literally loving it in my everyday use.
I’m also loving it for one particular reason and that is its size. It’s perfect for my countertop or even my kitchen table (when no counter space is available).
So, after trying a couple of frozen pizza and reheating takeaway pizza (which comes out all crisp, bubbly and hot in 10 minutes), it was time to make our favoriteRicotta Spinach and Corn Empanadas!!
Step by Step Process to Make Ricotta Spinach and Corn Empanadas
As I had already mentioned in a couple of my earlier posts, I always keep cans of ‘biscuit dough’ in the fridge for such quick recipes.
So, I’m using the same for this Ricotta Spinach and Corn Empanadas along with spinach, corn, and ricotta.
Our filling is super easy, flavorful and light as I’m not using any other cheese other than ricotta.
Once our empanadas are filled and sealed, I placed them on the “Crisper Tray” provided with the oven.
The benefit of using a crisper tray is you get even baking (top and bottom).
Then you simply place the tray in the Superheated Steam Countertop Oven and simply press the pizza option and bake for 15 minutes.
You DO-NOTneed to stop mid-way to turn the empanadas as the crisper tray will heat it evenly, so you cut down on any extra steps.
Simply go about doing other stuff while yourRicotta Spinach and Corn Empanadas are baked to golden perfection.
Once these empanadas are baked, serve them with your favorite sauce/dip and enjoy with loved ones.
So I would HIGHLY Recommend this ” Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven ” for all your everyday toasting/broiling/baking/grilling needs.
It’s perfect for all kitchen sizes and makes a great holiday gift for your special ones.
