About Arepa de huevo

Arepa de Huevo is a traditional Colombian dish originating from the Caribbean coastal region. It consists of a cornmeal dough patty that is deep-fried until golden, then split open and filled with an egg, which cooks inside as the patty fries a second time. This comfort food is celebrated for its crispy texture and rich flavor. Nutritionally, the cornmeal provides carbohydrates for energy and some essential minerals like phosphorus and magnesium, while the egg offers a good protein source and vitamins like B12 and D. However, because it is deep-fried, Arepa de Huevo is high in calories and fats, making it less ideal for frequent consumption if you're managing dietary health or weight. Moderation and pairing with fresh, nutrient-rich sides like avocado or a vegetable salad can help balance its indulgent nature. This Colombian favorite is a delicious representation of its vibrant culinary heritage.
