Nono's arepa

Nono's arepa

Some of the best recipes are the simplest ones. This is my grandfather’s signature arepa. Filled with soft scrambled eggs and thinly sliced Parmesan cheese, it’s a comforting family favorite that proves you don’t need many ingredients to make something unforgettable.

Ingredients

For the Arepas

  • 1 cup Fressh Protein Arepa Mix
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • Salt to taste

For the Filling

  • 2 large eggs
  • Thinly sliced Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the Protein Arepa Mix, hot water, and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into arepas.
  3. Cook the arepas until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  4. While the arepas cook, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until they’re just set but still soft and creamy. Season lightly with salt.
  5. Slice the warm arepas open and fill them with the scrambled eggs.
  6. Top the eggs with several thin slices of Parmesan cheese so the residual heat softens the cheese.
  7. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
