5. Knead the empanada dough and flatten the dough out until it is the height of your pinkie. Then, cut the dough into circles.

6. Make the sausage almost cooked because if you cook it all the way the meat will over cook on the inside.

7. In a pan put onions and garlic and cook until they have a brown color.

8. In the onion and garlic mixture put a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika.

9. Put the onions and garlic mixture in a bowl to the side.

10. Scramble the eggs. Then, mix all the ingredients into one bowl.

11. Once you mix all the ingredients in the bowl put the filling into the individual dough circles, then fold over the dough and crimp the edges with a fork.

12. Make an egg wash and brush it over the empanadas and put in the oven until the dough is a golden brown.

Now you know how to make the perfect empanada for a quick and easy breakfast.
