What You Need

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.

  3. Top with a slice of quince paste.
  4. Scatter with chopped almonds.

About This Recipe

Manchego with membrillo — quince paste — is the classic end to a Spanish meal: firm, nutty sheep's cheese against dense, floral fruit. It works just as well as a quick, elegant breakfast.
