Cheese Arepa is a traditional dish from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Colombia and Venezuela. Made from a mixture of pre-cooked cornmeal, water, and salt, the dough is shaped into a round and flat form, then grilled or cooked until golden. It is often stuffed or topped with melted cheese, adding to its irresistible flavor and creamy texture. Cheese Arepas are naturally gluten-free and a good source of energy due to their carbohydrate content from cornmeal. While the cheese provides protein and calcium, it can also contribute to higher levels of saturated fat and calories depending on the type and amount used. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or lean protein makes it part of a balanced meal. Versatile and satisfying, Cheese Arepas are a beloved comfort food celebrated for their simplicity and hearty taste.
