Oven-Baked Sopes

Oven-Baked Sopes

Makes 24 sopes

30 minutes or fewer

Sopes are small, round, tartlette-like cakes made with masa harina, the flour used to prepare tortillas. Instead of frying the sopes on a griddle, we’ve baked them for entertaining ease. Topped with Zucchini-Corn Filling  or Pico de Gallo, they make beautiful appetizers, or you can serve a trio of stuffed sopes as an entrée.
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, optional
  • 3 cups masa harina
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 Tbs. vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk together masa harina, Parmesan cheese, if using, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Stir in 2 1/2 cups hot water until mixture forms soft dough. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir egg, then oil, into dough.

3. Roll 1/4 cup dough into ball. Press into 3-inch disk on prepared baking sheet, pinching together any cracked edges. Press indentation in center of disk using small drinking glass, then shape 1/2-inch edge around indentation with your fingers. Repeat with remaining dough.

4. Bake 10 minutes, or until sopes begin to look dry. Sprinkle each indentation with 2 tsp. grated Monterey Jack cheese. Return to oven, and bake 5 minutes more, or until cheese has melted. Top with Zucchini-Corn Filling or Pico de Gallo.

Soo good! I thought that they would taste too different in the over but no way, they were great! I don't usually use eggs in the sopes recipe so I can imagine that if you wanted to do vegan, it would be ok to leave out the eggs. This is def a keeper! My Grandma taught me to fry them, now I will bake, they are way healthier this way.
