I substituted feta cheese for the goat cheese and they were still delicious. The sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sweetness and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.

I found the filling to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices next time. The pastry was good, but it could have been flakier.

These empanadas were a bit too oily for my taste. The filling was good, but the pastry was a bit greasy. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.
