Rustika Café and Bakery’s empanadas are handmade from scratch and baked, never fried. Each filling is prepared fresh for each empanada type, then Rustika’s chefs carefully measure, sauté and blend premium ingredients together to create the perfect flavor and texture combination. The bakers prepare the yogurt-based empanada dough, roll it out, and hand-cut each piece. Once the empanada is filled, they are ready to bake. The dough is a family generational recipe that results in a brown and flaky exterior, while maintaining a smooth and soft interior. The dough has a subtle savory flavor that pairs perfectly with any of the fillings unique flavor complex.
