cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: queso blanco

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for cooking.

Add masa cornflour, hot water, butter or ghee, and salt into a bowl and mix with a fork until the water is absorbed.

Cover the mixture for about 5 minutes to hydrate the masa flour.

Mix in the cheese until it creates a dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

Roll the dough into a log and divide it into equal portions.

Flatten each portion between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic to about 1/3 of an inch thick.

Cook the arepas on a panini grill or bake them until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
