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.

Overall, these cream cheese arepas were a good recipe. They were easy to make and the cream cheese filling was delicious. However, I think I would have liked them better if I had made a few adjustments to the recipe.

These arepas were a bit too sweet. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the cream cheese filling.

These arepas were a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more liquid to the dough.

These cream cheese arepas were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some additional seasonings to the cream cheese filling.

I'm not a big fan of arepas, but these cream cheese arepas were really good! The cream cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the arepas themselves were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again.
