This Breakfast Stuffed Arepa Recipe is part of an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

My kids went back to school this week and I have started an early morning workout routine.  I am determined to start getting more exercise on a regular basis and since they are both gone by 7 AM I have no more excuses.  I don’t eat much before I work out.  I may have a granola bar or a piece of fruit but not a whole big breakfast.  However, that means that when I return home after my workout and finish my shower I am famished.  I can pretty much feel my stomach digesting itself in it’s attempt to achieve hunger satisfaction. I have decided to start keeping a few items in the fridge that will make it easy to put together a breakfast sandwich recipe with very little work. I just have to remember to hide the cooked bacon from the rest of my family!

Up until now, I did not know what arepa were.  I have been working with P.A.N. Cornmeal for the last few months to show off the unique and healthy characteristics of this precooked cornmeal.  Arepa are a cornmeal flatbread that are perfect for your favorite sandwich recipes.  You probably put your breakfast sandwich on a bagel or English muffin, right?  Well, I encourage you to put on your ‘Food Explorer’ hat and think outside the box next time you want to make a breakfast sandwich.

P.A.N. Cornmeal is quick and easy to use and this arepa recipe uses only cornmeal, water and a pinch of salt.  Corn is rich in nutrients and very versatile, making it a perfect choice to inspire new and creative recipes. Cornmeal is a staple in countries all over the globe and P.A.N. Cornmeal  is  making its way into kitchens throughout the USA. For a wide variety of recipes using P.A.N. Cornmeal, visit the P.A.N. Tumblr page.
