Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the arepas for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove arepas and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Cut a slit in the side of each arepa to create a pocket.

Crack an egg into each arepa pocket carefully.

Add cheese, green onions, and any desired toppings inside the pocket.

Remove from oil and drain again on paper towels.
