After about 5 to 8 minutes, flip the arepas to cook the other side.

In a separate pan, add a bit of oil and heat it up.

Crack two huevos into the hot pan and cover to cook them well.

After a few minutes, check the eggs, then remove from heat once cooked.

Plate the frijoles and arroz mixture, add the cooked huevo on top, and season the egg with salt.
