Cream Cheese Arepas image

Using milk instead of water in the arepas will make them a little richer, a little denser, and, that's right - delicious! Split and serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey, or make a breakfast sandwich with a drizzle of maple syrup, a slice of cheese and cooked ham, and a fried egg.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup milk at room temperature
¼ cup cream cheese at room temperature
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup arepas flour (such as P.A.N.®)
½ teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix milk, cream cheese, and salt in a mixing bowl; whisk together until smooth and foamy. Add sugar and arepas flour to milk mixture; mix with a spatula until dough is soft, thick, and workable, about 1 minute.
  • Divide dough into 4 portions (for the 4 wells in the maker). Form each quarter into a ball and use wet hands to gently shape it into a thick patty about 1/2-inch thick. If you see little cracks on the outside, the dough may be a little too dry; add more milk.
  • Heat arepas maker; lightly coat wells of the arepas machine with vegetable oil.
  • Place patties into wells of maker, close lid, and let cook through one cooking cycle of machine, about 5 minutes. For a crisper crust, flip arepas, using a wooden spoon or spatula, and repeat cooking cycle for 5 more minutes. Patties will be crusty and browned on both sides and the insides will be cooked all the way through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my arepas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I found that these arepas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

I was a bit disappointed with these arepas. They were a bit dry and the cream cheese filling was bland.

These arepas are so versatile. I've filled them with everything from ham and cheese to chicken and avocado. They're always a crowd-pleaser.

These arepas were a bit more difficult to make than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the cream cheese filling was delicious.
