Healthy Cachapa or Corn Arepa with Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Sweet corn
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Oat flour
• 1 tsp Sweetener (Optional; the calorie count depends on the type of sweetener used.)
• Milk (A splash; approximately 2 tbsp is estimated to adjust the consistency.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Low-fat cheese (For filling; approximately 30 g per cachapa, or 120 g total, is estimated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the egg, sweet corn, Greek yogurt, oat flour, optional sweetener, splash of milk, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and slightly thick, with no large corn lumps. If it is too thick to spread, add a few more drops of milk.

2. 2

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in a portion of the mixture and spread it with the back of a spoon to form a large piece, like a pancake.

3. 3

   Cook the cachapa for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface looks firmer and bubbles begin to appear. The base should be golden and should lift easily from the skillet.

4. 4

   Carefully flip and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes, until it is also lightly golden and the cachapa is fully cooked.

5. 5

   Place low-fat cheese over one half of the hot cachapa. Fold it over to cover the filling and let it rest for a few moments so the cheese warms and softens.

6. 6

   Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and cheese. Serve the cachapas hot and freshly made.
