Category: Breakfast  |  Ready in 4 minutes  |  Serves 1 adult or 2 kids  |  Naturally gluten-free

What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 2 oz smoked gouda, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp spiced pear butter

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Lay the gouda slices over each warm arepa so they melt slightly.
  3. Spread the pear butter over the cheese.

About This Recipe

Smoked gouda is aged over real smoke in the Netherlands, giving it a deep, almost bacon-like note. Against spiced pear butter, it's a sweet-smoky pairing that needs nothing else.
