LIGHT BREAKFAST EMPANADAS
Enjoy this hearty breakfast without feeling guilty about the calories. This recipe also contains a recipe on how to make corn tortillas (which form the crust of the empanada). This will show you how to make a perfect tortilla every time with the tortilla press (which, I'm surprised to say, I haven't seen anywhere else on the web).

Steps:
- Boil corn, then cut kernels off.
- Puree corn with water in food processor.
- Combine pureed corn and cornflour until blended. Roll into a ball and wrap in wax paper. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat nonstick pan to medium temperature.
- Scramble egg whites, cut prepared sausage links into small pieces, and set aside to cool slightly. NOTE: hot insides in an empanada could cause the crust to break apart.
- Cut dough into 4 equal pieces, and roll each into a ball.
- If not using a tortilla press, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a tortilla shape and thickness. Apply additional cornflour as needed to prevent sticking.
- If using a tortilla press, flatten one ball by hand while trying to retain a disc shape. Place between two sheets of wax paper in the tortilla press with a generous dusting of cornflour to prevent sticking. Press together just long enough to lock the handle. NOTE: don't lean on the tortilla press or hold it excessively long, or the tortilla could break up.
- If using a tortilla press, peel off one sheet of wax paper, but keep the other one on.
- Wet the perimeter of the tortilla with water.
- Fill 1/2 of the tortilla with 1/4 of the egg, sausage, and cheese. Fold the tortilla half over and peel off the wax paper.
- Pinch the edges together. Press along the fold with a fork if desired.
- Cook empanada in a pan with light butter, turning when browned. Repeat for remaining dough.
- Serve with salsa and guacamole if desired.

BREAKFAST EMPANADAS (LIGHT VERSION - 3 PT)
I based this recipe off kzbhansen's recipe #130244. While these are a huge hit with the family, with over 30 g of fat they don't really fit into the healthier lifestyle we are aiming for. This lighter version checks in at only 3 WW points. The vegetables can be exchanged however you like with minimal impact on the points value. I suggest trying mushrooms, peppers or tomatoes in the empanadas.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Saute onion in oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the onion is soft.
- Add hashbrowns and spinach, saute until all the moisture is gone and the potatoes start to brown. Move to a large mixing bowl.
- Spray the non-stick skillet with butter flavored spray and heat over medium heat; add egg beaters and cook without stirring until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw spatula across bottom of skillet to form large curds. Continue cooking until eggs are slightly thickened but still moist. (Do NOT stir constantly).
- Remove from heat and let cool, add to mixing bowl. Add bacon to bowl and stir well.
- Separate each biscuit to form a total of 16. Biscuits should be separated using the layers and be as close to even as possible. Flatten each biscuit into about a 5 inch circle.
- Spread cheese evenly over the tops of dough circles, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Top evenly with egg mixture.
- Fold dough circles in half over mixture, pinching edges to seal.
- Place 2 inches apart in a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan coated with Pam.
- Press sealed edges with the tines of a fork.
- Bake at 375°F 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove empanadas with a spatula onto a wire rack.
- Serve warm.
- To freeze: After baking allow empanadas to cool fulling. Place into a zip-top bag and freeze.
- To serve: From frozen, wrap empanada with a paper towel. Place on a microwave safe plate and microwave on 50% power 1-2 minutes or until the empanada is heated all the way through.

BREAKFAST EMPAñADAS
Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chorizo and onion, stirring, until onion is softened. Add potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in jalapeños, tomatoes, and cumin and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely. Stir in cilantro, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out each empanada wrapper into a 6-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put about 1/3 cup filling in center of each wrapper and form filling into a log. Moisten wrapper edges with a finger dipped in water and fold each wrapper over filling to form a half-moon. Press down around filling to force out air and seal by pressing edges together firmly with a fork.
- Heat remaining 3 cups oil in a deep 12-inch skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry empanadas in 3 batches, gently turning, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer empanadas to paper towels to drain.

- Crack 6 to 7 large eggs into a large bowl and whisk together until well combined, heat a large nonstick pan with a low-medium heat, add in 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and the egg mixture, start mixing everything together, you want to mix this continuously so the eggs cook evenly, after 4 minutes and the eggs are fully cooked through but still creamy, turn off the heat, season with sea salt & black pepper and gently mix together so the seasonings are evenly divided, set aside
- Roll out the premade pizza doughs, using a bowl with a 4 1/2 inch diameter, push down on the pizza dough, twist the bowl, you should end up with four 4 1/2 inch round doughs from each pizza dough
- Add some all-purpose flour to a piece of parchment paper, dust off all of the circular doughs, stretching them out to make them a bit bigger, evenly divide the scrambled eggs into the doughs (make sure to not over-stuff them), sprinkle each one with shredded Manchego cheese and top off with some freshly chopped chives, fold the dough over the ingredients and pierce down on the outer edges with your fingers, then pierce again with a fork on both sides, add the empanadas to a baking tray lined with parchment paper,
- Brush the empanadas with some egg wash (I seasoned mine with sea salt), add into a preheated oven, bake +broil option 210 C - 425 F, after 12 to 13 minutes and they have a golden crust, remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, enjoy them hot, at room temperature or add to the freezer, they will hold for up to 7 days
