About Arepa de Huevo
Erica Dinho describes arepa de huevo as a traditional food of Colombia's Caribbean region, familiar from Cartagena's beaches and street stalls. Her egg-filled rendition uses a simple maize dough seasoned with salt and sugar.
The arepas are first fried on their own. An opening is then made in each cake so a whole egg can be poured inside, before the pocket is sealed with reserved dough.
A second frying cooks the filled arepas, which are drained and served immediately. Erica recalls her family eating them beyond breakfast and also suggests them with coffee as an afternoon snack.
