What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 slices good-quality ham
  • 1 tbsp salted butter, softened

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Spread butter on one arepa right to the edges.
  3. Fold the ham on top and lay the cornichons across.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press.
  5. Wrap in paper; butter and ham keep it neat and it's meant to be eaten at room temperature.
