Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt.
Crack the egg into the mixture and mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll them into balls.
Flatten each ball into a disk about 1/2 inch thick using your palms.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the arepas into the skillet.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Transfer the cooked arepas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter.
Serve warm and enjoy!
