Cream Cheese and Strawberry Jam Arepa — Sweet Gluten-Free Breakfast

June 12, 2026

Smooth cream cheese and strawberry jam on a warm arepa — two-minute breakfast that kids ask for every morning. Use any jam you have in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional)

How to Make It

  1. Toast arepas until warm.
  2. Spread cream cheese generously over each warm arepa.
  3. Add a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese.
  4. Swirl gently with the back of a spoon to marble the two together.
  5. Top with a few sliced fresh strawberries if you have them and serve.

Why It Works

Cream cheese and jam is one of the most underrated breakfast combinations. The cream cheese is rich and slightly savory, the jam brings sweetness and fruit flavor, and the warm arepa underneath makes the whole thing feel more satisfying than toast ever could.
