My native Dunkin’ was giving out free samples of the brand new Churro donut the opposite day, so I pocketed one to eat later within the day. Ya know, as a result of I didn’t wanna spoil my supper.
Alright, I lied, I grabbed three little baggies on my means out once they weren’t trying. I do know, you don’t should say it – I’m what’s fallacious with society. Imagine me, I absolutely count on to see a printed digicam shot of me on the wall with the phrases, “Do Not Serve This Slob,” subsequent time I get a espresso.
Anyway, when it got here time to pattern mentioned donut bites, two of them weren’t donuts in any respect. They had been little bites of the brand new Breakfast Empanadas – ice chilly bites of a sausage, egg and cheese empanada.
Serves me proper, I assume… however ya know what? As gross as an empanada sitting within the automotive for 5 hours sounds, it wasn’t dangerous. In reality, it was adequate to return the following day and take a look at one sizzling out of the (microwave) oven.
The breakfast empanada consists of egg, cheese, and sausage paste baked inside a pastry shell. That’s not probably the most appetizing description, but it surely’s primarily what it’s. The contents are like that of a Pillsbury Toaster Scramble, whereas the style was just like Dunkin’s Omelet Bites, simply not as dry.
The crust is greasy and flakey however nonetheless fairly pleasurable. I wouldn’t say it’s fully genuine to a standard empanada, however perhaps nearer to a pot pie. It has a “sheen” to it, like a knish from a Jewish deli. I really suppose the crust might have been one of the best half.
The within is okay however leaves somewhat to be desired. The flavors mix effectively, however it will possibly’t shake an underlying “low-cost” style that I don’t suppose a number of different Dunkin’ meals should this diploma. I feel it stems from the scrambled eggs that wanted to be somewhat firmer. Some bites had been so mushy they bordered on liquid and actually relied on the crust to sop it up.
The sausage crumbles additionally didn’t have a lot texture, however they nonetheless boasted one overwhelming spice I couldn’t pinpoint. It made me suppose the empanada would possibly’ve wanted a zesty sauce or salsa to counter it. If the center wasn’t an egg porridge, I’d say the crust-to-filling ratio was too excessive, however I appreciated the empanada shell’s function on this scenario.
It’s humorous; the new model wasn’t significantly better than the chilly. I ought to’ve Goldilocks’d it and waited about fifteen minutes, so it was good.
Within the grand scheme, that is in all probability a one or two-time buy, but it surely’s not surpassing the Wakeup Wraps or Breakfast Tacos for me.
Nonetheless, you know the way the menu works. The empanada will in all probability be gone in a month, so it’s value a attempt. It’s a fairly handy and satisfying meal. If not, you possibly can all the time simply steal three samples as a substitute.
