Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. To make the crab cake filling, in a medium bowl, combine the crab, 1 egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning. Then add the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
  3. Stir in the prepared mac and cheese
  4. Then roll out each refrigerated pie crust dough and using a cutter or a medium bowl, cut circles in the pie crust.
  5. Place a scoop of filling in the middle of the circle of the dough. Roll half of the dough over to get a fat crescent moon shape. Then with your fork, press your fork into the edges of the empanadas so you see the indentations of the fork along the edges.
  6. In a small bowl beat the remaining egg with a fork. Brush the empanadas with an egg wash to make them golden brown.
  7. Bake them for 20 minutes.
