Knead arepa dough with corn flour, water, and half the salt.
Shape 6 arepas and cook them in a pan for 5 minutes on each side.
Split the arepas and fill with beef bologna-style slices and white cheese.
Whisk flour, eggs, milk, and remaining salt into a pourable batter.
Dip the filled arepas in the batter.
Fry the filled arepas in hot vegetable oil for 4 minutes until golden.
Thinly slice the cabbage and serve on the side.
💡 Tip: Cooling the arepas slightly before frying helps keep the filling inside.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with cabbage slaw, ketchup, and hot sauce.
