August 31, 2026

Category: Breakfast  |  Ready in 15 minutes  |  Serves 1 adult or 2 kids  |  Naturally gluten-free

What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tomato, diced (or 3/4 cup canned diced tomato)
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

How to Make It

  1. Heat the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles, until warm.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and soften the pepper, 4 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato and cook until jammy, 4-5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the eggs and stir gently until just set and still soft.
  5. Spoon the menemen over each warm arepa and season.

About This Recipe

Menemen is Turkey's everyday breakfast — eggs barely set in a soft tangle of tomato and pepper, cooked low and slow so they stay creamy. It's usually scooped up with bread; a warm arepa does the same job.
