Method
Preheat the oven or air fryer to 400°F (400°F).
Place one rice paper sheet on a clean surface and brush it lightly with the beaten egg.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rice paper has a light coating of beaten egg.
Add a spoonful of ham and a few strands of light shredded cheese to the center of the sheet.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Ham and cheese sit in the middle of the wrapper. Keep the filling centered so the edges can seal.
Fold the rice paper over the filling to create a small pocket, sealing the edges by brushing a little more egg along the seam.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Edges are sealed around the filling. Brush the seam with egg before closing.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling.
Arrange the assembled empanadas on a baking tray (or in the air‑fryer basket) in a single layer.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Empanadas sit in a single layer on the tray or basket.
Bake or air‑fry for 15–20 minutes, or until the wrappers are golden and crisp.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Wrappers are golden and crisp.
If desired, sprinkle grated cheese over the empanadas during the final minute of cooking, then remove and serve.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Grated cheese is melted on top, if used.
