Fresh mozzarella, ripe tomato slices and fresh basil with balsamic glaze on a warm gluten-free arepa

Caprese Arepa — Fresh Gluten-Free Brunch in Minutes

June 12, 2026

Fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze on a warm arepa. Caprese salad meets Colombian breakfast — naturally gluten-free, no cooking required beyond toasting.

Ingredients

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze and olive oil to finish

How to Make It

  1. Toast arepas until warm and golden.
  2. Layer mozzarella slices on each warm arepa — the heat softens them slightly.
  3. Top with tomato slices.
  4. Scatter fresh basil leaves over everything.
  5. Drizzle balsamic glaze and a little olive oil to finish.

Why It Works

The caprese combination — mozzarella, tomato, basil — is one of the most effortless in Italian cooking. On a warm arepa, the cheese softens just enough to become creamy, and the balsamic brings the whole thing together beautifully.
