Ham and Cheese Pockets
Serves: about 5 – 6 (2 pockets per serving)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. diced ham
2/3 cup swiss or cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup onion, diced
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. red pepper, diced
15 oz./424 g package of two, 9”/22 cm refrigerated pie crusts or packaged empanada dough
1 egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 375°F/190° C. In a Wonderlier® Bowl combine ham, cheese, onion, mustard and red
pepper until well mixed. Roll the dough into a 12” circle. Using the cutting side of the Pie Press, cut 4
circles of dough, repeat with other half of dough, then reroll and cut scraps. Hold the Pie Press open;
place one of the circular cutouts on the side with the teeth. Brush the dough with a thin layer of the
beaten egg on the teeth. Place ham mixture in the center of the dough.
To seal the pockets, hold the Tupperware® Pie Press’s two handles and close by bringing the handles
together and then pressing gently but fi rmly for 5 seconds. Place each fi nished pocket onto a baking
sheet lined with a Silicone Wonder™ Mat. Brush the tops of the pockets with the remaining beaten
egg. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

Empanada Dough
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1/3 cup ice water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Preparation
Sift flour with salt into a large bowl and blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with some (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
Beat together egg, water, and vinegar in a small bowl with a fork. Add to flour mixture, stirring with fork until just incorporated. (Mixture will look shaggy.)
Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gather together, then knead gently with heel of your hand once or twice, just enough to bring dough together. Form dough into a flat rectangle and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour.
