cheese

corn flour

Whole grain flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Grate 150 grams of mozzarella cheese and set aside.

In a bowl, add 2.5 cups of warm water, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and mix well.

Add 2 cups of harina pan (corn flour) and mix until integrated.

When unable to mix with a fork, use hands to knead until a smooth dough forms that does not stick to hands.

Incorporate half of the grated cheese into the dough and mix until fully integrated.

Separate a portion of the dough and shape it into a ball, then flatten it with your palm.

Spread a little oil on the surface of the arepa.

In a skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and spread it evenly with a kitchen brush.

Place the arepas in the skillet, ensuring they are not touching.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, flip the arepas to cook the other side.

Cover and cook for another 10 minutes until golden brown.

Cut the arepas in half with a bread knife and fill with the remaining grated cheese.

Return the filled arepas to the skillet over low heat, cover, and cook until the cheese melts.
