Ingredients

2 eggs
2 cups of water
4 tablespoons melted butter
1½ cups of grated white cheese
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 cups of arepa flour Harina P.A.N.

Instructions

In a bowl, add the liquid ingredients: lightly beaten eggs, water, and melted butter. Mix with a whisk. Add the grated white cheese and combine.
Gradually add the arepa flour, and mix with a fork, with your hands, or with a Danish mixer.
Knead with your hands and make sure the dough is smooth. Let rest for five minutes.
Preheat the griddle or budare over medium-high heat, and make dough balls. The size of the balls will depend on how big you want your arepas.
Shape the dough balls into arepas with the palms of your hands.
Place the arepas on the griddle or budare, and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium, flip the arepas over, and cook for 6-7 more minutes.
Serve hot, slice them, add butter and fill with grated white cheese, or shredded Gouda cheese.
