Mix in mozzarella cheese and let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the liquid absorb.

Form into a ball and make a well to add additional mozzarella cheese.

Close the ball of dough making sure the mozzarella cheese is in the center. Flatten like a pancake about 1/2 inch thick.

Oil both sides of the Arepa and place on a preheated griddle. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once the dough is cooked through and cheese is melted in the middle. Enjoy plain or topped with pico, avocado, or more cheese!
