Comment préparer Colombian Arepas With Ham And Cheese
- In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, mozzarella cheese, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water, mixing well with a spoon until a soft dough forms. Add more water if needed to reach a slightly sticky consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch diameter circle.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook the arepas for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if needed, adding more butter as necessary.
- Set the cooked arepas aside.
- Slice each arepa in half horizontally.
- Layer ham, cheese, and tomato slices on the bottom half of each arepa.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with the remaining arepa halves.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the assembled arepas for 3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the arepas are golden brown and heated through.
- Serve immediately with salsa, if desired.
