Dice the peppers small and warm the olive oil in the pan for 1 minute.
Cook the peppers in the olive oil for 6 minutes until softened.
Mix the olives and cheese with the peppers and cool the filling so the dough does not get wet.
Divide the filling among the empanada dough pieces and close the edges with a fork.
Bake the empanadas at 200°C for 15 minutes until browned.
💡 Tip: Cooling the pepper filling completely helps keep the empanada edges from opening.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Arrange the pepper and olive empanadas hot, with the olive cheese filling visible at the edge.
