- Pre-heat the oven to 400F (200C).
- Brush the empanadas with the egg wash before baking; this helps them achieve that nice golden finish when baked.
- Bake the empanadas for 18-20 minutes or until golden on top.
- Serve the empanadas alone or with a dipping sauce.

Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr Don't use water-packed tuna for this recipe - it's too bland for the filling. Tuna packed in olive oil, however, will make for _empanaditas_ that taste genuine. Especially with a glass of Fino Sherry.
