About Mozzarella stuffed square arepa

Mozzarella Stuffed Square Arepa is a delightful twist on the traditional arepa, a beloved staple of South American cuisine originating in Venezuela and Colombia. This square-shaped arepa is made from ground cornmeal, water, and a pinch of salt, grilled or baked to perfection and stuffed with creamy mozzarella cheese for a rich, gooey center. A good source of complex carbohydrates, arepas provide sustained energy, while their gluten-free nature makes them suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The mozzarella adds protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength. However, it also introduces higher saturated fat and sodium levels, which should be consumed in moderation. This dish pairs well with fresh veggies or lean proteins to balance its nutritional profile, offering a comforting and satisfying option for breakfast, lunch, or a savory snack.
