• 120 g of warm water
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon butter, melted
• two handfuls of grated mozzarella cheese or Costeñov cheese or soft Manchego cheese

Music

1. Arepas con queso

   We put the corn flour, water, butter and salt in the glass. We mix 10 sec. speed 3.

   With the spatula, lower the ingredients towards the bottom of the glass and mix 5 sec. speed 3.

   We remove the dough and form a ball.

2. Divide the dough into 6 balls and flatten them into rounded shapes. You should end up with 1cm thick discs.

    

3. Add a splash of oil to the pan or grill and brown the arepas for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

4. Parrot eggs

   We will make the eggs in the traditional way:

   We finely chop the tomato and onion.

   In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion for 2 minutes until transparent.

5. Add the tomato and cook 3-4 minutes more until it softens.

6. In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper.

   We put them in the same pan with the sofrito and stir gently over low heat until they set.
