Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in a large bowl until well combined. Using a large spoon, stir in the garlic, cheeses, spinach and artichoke hearts. Season to taste and set aside.
- Place one empanada disc on a clean dry work surface, keeping the remaining dough covered with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Using a 4-inch football-shaped cookie cutter, punch out 2 footballs per dough disc. Set aside the excess dough; you will need this to create laces for the top of the football. Spread 1 1/2 to 2 heaping tablespoons cheese filling on one of the football cutouts, leaving a 1/4-inch border all the way around the edge. Place the other football cutout on top of the filling, stretching if necessary. Press down on the edges using a fork to fuse the 2 pieces together and make a decorative border around the empanadas.
- Use the excess dough to create 1 longer and 3 shorter strips. Put the longer strip running down the length of the football, then the 3 shorter strips across the longer one. Repeat with the remaining filling and dough discs. Place the finished footballs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake until the empanadas are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
ARGENTINEAN EMPANADAS
Empanadas are very popular as a street food in South America. Essentially, it is a crescent-shaped pastry with a filling, which may vary greatly by region or preference. Empanadas can be fried or baked, and may use a variety of fillings from meat or seafood to fruit or cheese. While this recipe uses the filling most popular in Buenos Aires, you can fill an empanada with virtually anything you please, so experiment! Tip: A recipe for empanada dough is given here, but they can be found in the frozen pastry section of many specialty or Hispanic groceries. If you are in a rush or just feeling lazy, frozen puff pastry can serve as an adequate substitute. Note: To the reviewer who said the flavor did not seem authentic, you probably haven't had meat empanadas from Argentina then! I am Argentine, and the ground beef empanadas you find there *always* have cumin. Other cultures may have different fillings.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, mix the sifted flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix in the solid margarine or butter with your fingers, (best to cross cut with two knives). The flour should have an even, coarse texture, with the margarine lumps no larger than a pea.
- Beat together the water, eggs, and vinegar in a bowl. Slowly mix into the flour mixture, until you have the desired consistency (it should not be too sticky, but still malleable).
- Place the mixture on a floured surface. Knead with the heel of your hand to bring the dough together.
- Cover the dough and allow to sit in a cool place for at least an hour.
- Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 of an inch (0.3 cm) thick. Cut into circles about 4-6 inches (10 - 15 cm) in diameter and lightly flour them.
- Heat some oil in a large saucepan. Mince the onions and garlic, and add to the pan. Cook until the onions become translucent.
- Add the ground meat. Break it up with with a spoon and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Drain off fat.
- Mix in the cumin, pepper flakes, and sugar. Adjust to taste.
- Chop the hard boiled eggs and halve the stuffed olives. Carefully mix into the meat mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF/200ºC.
- Stuff the empanada dough wrappers. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Dampen the outer perimeter of the dough.
- Fold over, forming a semicircle. Pinch a corner of the dough, and then fold that section onto itself. Pinch and pull out another 1/2-inch (1.2 cm) section and fold over, so that it slightly overlaps the first piece. Repeat along the length of the folded side, until you create a braided or twisted seal.
- If desired, brush the tops of the empanadas with beaten egg yolk for a nice golden color.
- Place the folded empanadas on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:
- Steam the spinach in a steamer until wilted, but not mushy--just a minute or two in the steamer.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan; when it is moderately hot, quickly stir in garlic and tomatoes, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and let cool; mix in the cooked spinach, salt and pepper to taste.
- Dough: sift the flour with the salt and baking powder; place half the flour mixture in a big mixing bowl; make a well in the center.
- Place the butter, large, eggs, and water in the well.
- Mix at low speed to form a paste.
- Continue to mix in the remaining flour mixture until all is added; you may need to add water--slowly and in small quantities--until the dough reaches the right consistency.
- The dough should be soft and pliable, like pie dough.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface; divide the dough into 4 pieces (keep the pieces you aren't using in the refrigerator until you need them).
- Use a floured rolling pin to roll out the dough about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a large round cookie cutter or bowl (about 4 inches in diameter) to cut circles from the dough.
- Use a slotted spoon (to allow any excess liquid to drain from the filling) and put some filling in the center of the circle and fold over to make a half circle; don't overfill.
- Seal the edges of the dough with your fingers or with a fork to make a scalloped edge.
- Get a large frying pan and add enough vegetable oil to cover the empanadas completely; heat the oil to the frying stage, about 350°.
- Fry the empanadas in oil, turning occasionally until brown on all sides; drain on paper towels; serve hot.
- **You may also bake these in the oven on a lightly greased baking sheet at 350° for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
