I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Arepa Breakfast Sandwich Recipe #PANFan

One of the most popular items to make with P.A.N. Cornmeal is the arepa. A classic Venezuelan specialty, the arepa can be used in place of bread. I decided to make a breakfast sandwich. Normally I would use toast or an English muffin but decided this would be a great chance to see how the arepa compares.

Directions:

  1. Pour water and salt into a bowl.
  2. Slowly add in the P.A.N. Cornmeal.
  3. Knead for about 2 minutes.
  4. Let the dough rest for 3 – 5 minutes.
  5. Form 8 – 10 balls with your hands. Flatten them out into patties.
  6. Cook in a skillet for about 5 minutes on each side.
  7. Allow arepa to cool.
  8. Slice a pocket into each one, or slice completely (like bread) and add the filling of your choice.

You can fill your arepas with anything and everything. I wanted to make a breakfast sandwich, so I made scrambled eggs with cheese and a dash of Adobe seasoning. I like everything plain and simple. Feel free to be more adventurous and add veggies, meat, or anything you like for breakfast.

I was pretty pleased with this culinary exploration. My arepas were quite doughy, and I would probably make them a little thinner next time. I would also use butter instead of olive oil. Or, maybe just less olive oil. Overall, it’s a very simple process and relatively quick and easy to make arepas. I feel like a food explorer with minimal effort.

With the leftover arepas, we played around a bit. I made a simple grilled cheese, which was delicious. Mike ate some with some lunchmeat. They are versatile and quite interchangeable with bread.

Have you ever tried an arepa?

    I’ll bet that corn flavor would go well with some cheese (I like sharp cheddar) and Ro-Tel (chopped tomatoes + hot peppers). Yum.

    I have never tried an Arepas, but they sound fun to make and they would be different than using the same bread. Your breakfast sandwich looks so delicious. I will have to try your recipe!

    I had never heard of Arepas until I read this post. I like that it is a simple recipe and can be eaten with any number of things. I’ll bet apple butter would be good on an arepa. Thanks for sharing!

    I am not a huge fan of the yeasty gluten filled breads they sell at the grocery store. This is something I could totally fit into my diet.
