Ingredients:
- 1 cup pre-cooked cornmeal
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Additional butter for greasing
Time needed: 13 minutes.
Recipe steps:
- Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine pre-cooked cornmeal and warm water. Mix until a smooth, lump-free dough forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Cook the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Shape the Arepas
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into thick disks. Make a shallow well in the center of each disk. Carefully transfer a cooked egg into the well of each arepa.
- Cook in arepa maker
Preheat your Arepa Maker and lightly grease it with butter. Place the egg-stuffed arepas in the machine and cook until they develop a golden crust, approximately 6-8 minutes on each side.
- Serve Hot
Remove the egg-stuffed arepas from the maker and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful combination of the crispy arepa exterior and the gooey, perfectly cooked egg inside.
Tips:
- For an extra touch, garnish with freshly chopped chives or your favorite hot sauce.
