These arepas were a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of arepas, but these were pretty good. I liked the crispy texture and the cheese filling was tasty.

The cheese filling was a bit bland for me. I think I would add some spices or herbs next time.

These arepas were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or water to the dough next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the arepas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cheese filling was gooey and flavorful.
