KITCHEN TIPS
Tip: 1
Balance out this egg and bacon dish with a serving of colorful mixed fresh berries.
Tip: 2
To talk about arepas is to talk about Venezuela. Arepas are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner at any Venezuelan table, usually plain with butter and Apure (Venezuelan cheese). They can be grilled, fried or boiled. Arepa dough can also be used to make other Venezuelan delicacies, such as empanadas and hallacas (Venezuelan tamales).
Tip: 3
Prepare and shape dough as directed. Cook patties (arepas) on griddle on medium-high heat 5 min. on each side; place in single layer on foil-covered baking sheet. Bake in 350°F oven 12 to 15 min. or until done. Split and fill arepas as directed.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix water and salt in large bowl. Gradually stir in cornmeal. Add cream cheese and cilantro; mix well. Let stand 5 min.
  2. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces; shape each into ball. Flatten each ball into 5-inch patty, rounding edge with a little water, if necessary.
  3. Heat griddle to medium-high heat. Add patties (arepas); cook 10 to 12 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Meanwhile, cook eggs until set, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cut arepas horizontally in half; fill with eggs, Singles and bacon.
