Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the arepa dough

In a medium bowl, combine white corn meal, water, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Let rest for 5 minutes.

2
Form the arepas

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten between your palms to form discs about 1/2-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.

3
Cook the arepas

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the arepas and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. The arepas should sound hollow when tapped.

4
Cook the chorizo

In another skillet, cook chorizo over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked through, slice into rounds.

5
Prepare the eggs

In a bowl, beat eggs with milk and salt.

6
Cook the eggs

Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until eggs are soft and just set, about 2-3 minutes.

7
Assemble the dish

Place 2 arepas on each plate. Top with scrambled eggs. Arrange chorizo slices alongside. Sprinkle with cheese.

8
Serve

Serve immediately while everything is hot. Traditionally enjoyed with hot chocolate or coffee.
