Crispy cornmeal dough pockets stuffed with fried eggs - a delectable twist on traditional arepas.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup pre-cooked white cornmeal (such as P.A.N.®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 cup hot water
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 medium eggs
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, combine corn meal, salt, and sugar. Pour in hot water and knead until dough forms. Shape into a ball and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Fill a pot with 4 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C) until it shimmers.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls, reserving a bit for later. Place a dough ball between two sheets of plastic wrap and press it into a 1/4-inch thick round using a pan or plate. Use your fingers to smooth out the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Carefully slip the arepas into the hot oil and fry until they puff up, approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side. Then, transfer the arepas from the oil to drain on paper towels until they are cool enough to handle safely.
  • Using a cutter, cut a 3-inch hole on the edge of each arepa. Crack an egg into a glass and gently pour it into the hole of the arepa. Seal the hole with reserved dough. Fry in oil until egg is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and let cool briefly before serving. Repeat with remaining arepas.
