Cheesy Arepa Waffles

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn flour and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing with your hands or a spoon until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth and pliable.

2. Add the cheese: Mix in the shredded cheese and the butter (if using). Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.

3. Preheat the waffle iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or butter and preheat it.

4. Shape the dough: Divide the dough into 3–4 equal portions. Form each into a ball and flatten slightly into a patty.

5. Cook the waffles: Place one patty in the waffle iron and close it. Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the outside. Repeat for the remaining portions.

6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the arepa-waffles warm with optional toppings like avocado slices, sour cream, or scrambled eggs.
