June 12, 2026•1 min read

Bright basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, and sweet cherry tomatoes on a warm arepa. Fast, fresh, and full of flavor — brunch done in five minutes, with ingredients you already have.

Ingredients

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

  • 2 tbsp basil pesto (store-bought works perfectly)

  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Fresh basil to garnish

  • Extra virgin olive oil

How to Make It

  1. Toast arepas until warm and golden.

  2. Spread pesto generously over each warm arepa.

  3. Layer mozzarella slices over the pesto.

  4. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes over the top.

  5. Garnish with extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil and serve immediately.

Why It Works

Pesto's herbaceous richness paired with fresh mozzarella and bright cherry tomatoes is a combination that works any time of day. On a warm arepa, it comes together in five minutes and tastes like you planned brunch all week.
