Ingredients
- 0.5 cup yellow pre-cooked cornmeal
- salt (Pinch)
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 eggs (Use one egg per arepa; crack each into a ramekin and season before filling.)
- oil (For frying; amount not specified in the source.)
Steps
- 1
Mix the yellow pre-cooked cornmeal, salt, and water to form a dough. Knead the dough, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- 2
Divide the rested dough into two portions. Place each portion between sheets of wax paper and flatten it with the bottom of a bowl.
- 3
Heat oil for frying to 350°F (175°C). Fry the flattened arepas for 3 minutes on each side, then remove them and let them cool on paper towels.
- 4
Crack one egg into a ramekin and season it. Repeat with the second egg, keeping one egg for each arepa.
- 5
Carefully fill each fried arepa with its raw egg. The source emphasizes that this step requires care to prevent the arepa from bursting.
- 6
Return the filled arepas to the 350°F (175°C) oil and fry for 1–2 minutes, until the egg is cooked.
- 7
Remove the arepas from the oil and let them cool on paper towels before serving.
Notes
The source does not specify the amount or type of frying oil, how the opening is made, or how it is sealed after filling. Filling the arepas with raw egg is delicate, and the creator reports that one attempt exploded.
