- 1 Little Freddie Chicken Casserole Pouch
- Small handful of mixed frozen vegetables (or any fresh veg!)
- 1 small egg for egg wash (or you can use milk!)
Method:

* Line a baking tray with grease proof paper
* In a small bowl, squeeze the contents of your chicken casserole pouch and stir in your choice of vegetables
* Unroll your pastry and using a cup or mug that has to same size diameter as your choice of empanada mould, cut out 6 circles and place aside
* Open your empanada mould and place one pastry circle inside
* Next add about a tablespoon of your filling (don’t overfill though!)
* Gently close your mould and then remove your empanada and place on the baking tray
* Repeat with the remaining pastry circles and filling before brushing with either an egg or some milk!
* Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown pastry is cooked underneath!

* Squeeze your Little Freddie fruit pouch equally onto each pastry shape
* On the remaining 6, cut out eyes and a mouth (get your little ones to get creative!) and place each top on top of the bottom pastry shapes
* Using a fork, crimp and seal the edges of each shape
* Brush each pastry with either the egg or milk wash and place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and the bottom of the pastries are cooked
* Allow the pastries to cool completely before serving, ENJOY!
