Breakfast: Arepa con Perico de Huevo (Arepa with Eggs)👩🏻‍🍳🫓 [ESP-ENG]

Hi Friends, I hope you are feeling great and that you are having some very emotional days, around here we are fine thanks to God✨.
I don't know if it happens to you that there are foods (no matter how simple they are) that transport you to a place, time and unique space of some stage of our life and that's just what happens with breakfasts composed of arepa with egg perico, as they transport me directly to those holiday mornings of my childhood, where together with my cousins and my brother we were called to breakfast this delicacy and that today I prepare more than anything when I want to feel much closer to the maternal home 🥹🩷.
Without further ado, here's how I prepare this quick and easy breakfast!

Preparación | Preparation 👩🏻‍🍳

✨ Inicio el desayuno haciendo primero las arepas, para ello agrego una taza y media de harina de maíz junto con una oizca de sal y voy agregando el agua y alternando con el amasado hasta obtener una masa suave y homogénea. Armo las arepas y llevo a cocinar en la plancha hasta que esté completamente cocida por ambos lados.

📌 Si señores yo agrego primero el harina y ¿Ustedes?

✨I start the breakfast by first making the arepas, for this I add a cup and a half of corn flour along with a pinch of salt and add the water, alternating with the kneading until I obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. I assemble the arepas and take to cook on the griddle until it is completely cooked on both sides.
📌Yes, gentlemen, I add the flour first and you?

✨ Mientras las arepas estan en su proceso de cocción preparo el perico, para ello corto en cubos pequeños el tomate y la mitad de la cebolla (si es mediana, si es pequeña si agrego una completa), luego en un sartén agrego una cucharada de mantequilla y al esra derretir agrego la cebolla a sofreir unos minutos para seguido agregar el tomate y dejar cocinar por unos 5 minutos o hasta que el tomate este bien cocido pero no desarmado.

✨ While the arepas are in the cooking process I prepare the perico, for this I cut in small cubes the tomato and half of the onion (if it is medium, if it is small I add a whole one), then in a frying pan I add a tablespoon of butter and when it melts I add the onion to fry for a few minutes and then add the tomato and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the tomato is well cooked but not disassembled🤭.

✨ En un recipiente agrego los huevos junto con una cucharadita de sal y con un tenedor los mezclo un poco para incorporar algo de aire (o eso dicen) para luego agregarlos sobre el tomate y dejo cocinar a fuego bajo unos minutos para luego si revolver mientras que el huevo termina su cocción.

✨ In a bowl I add the eggs along with a teaspoon of salt and with a fork I mix them a little to incorporate some air (or so they say) and then add them over the tomato and let them cook over low heat for a few minutes and then stir while the egg finishes cooking.

✨ Ya por último es cuestión de rellenar la arepa si asi lo deseas, agregando un poco más de mantequilla, el perico y culminando con queso rallado 🤤🤤

✨ Finally it is a matter of filling the arepa if you wish, adding a little more butter, the perico and finishing with grated cheese 🤤🤤🤤.
