Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pre-cooked white cornmeal and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the mixture forms a thick dough.
- Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and softened butter to the dough. Knead it with your hands until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
- Place the arepas on the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
Notes
You can substitute queso blanco for mozzarella cheese for a more authentic flavor.
