Spanish Chorizo Manchego Arepa — 10-Minute Brunch

Pan-seared Spanish chorizo and melted Manchego cheese on a warm arepa, finished with a drizzle of honey. Brunch ready in 10 minutes — no effort, all flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
• 4–6 slices cured Spanish chorizo
• 2 oz Manchego cheese, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp honey
• Fresh thyme to garnish (optional)

How to Make It

1. Toast arepas until warm and golden.
2. Pan-fry chorizo slices in a dry skillet 1–2 minutes per side until edges crisp slightly.
3. Lay Manchego slices on the warm arepas — the heat melts them gently.
4. Top with the crisped chorizo slices.
5. Drizzle honey over everything and finish with fresh thyme if using.

Why It Works

Spanish chorizo brings paprika-rich depth and a slight smokiness that pairs perfectly with the mild, nutty sweetness of Manchego. The honey is the finishing touch that makes this feel like a real brunch moment — no reservation required.
