vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola is budget-friendly.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet until hot.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup yellow corn flour, 1 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

Mix the ingredients until smooth to form the dough.

Divide the dough into balls and flatten them between plastic sheets to form arepas.

Fry the arepas in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side.

Remove the arepas from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

Make a slit in the side of each arepa to create a pocket for filling.

Fill each arepa pocket with eggs and any desired fillings.

Return the filled arepas to the hot oil and fry until the egg is set, about 2 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels again.

Serve hot.
