1
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the sweet plantains and slice them diagonally into thick pieces. In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat and fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2
Cook the Meat
In the same skillet, cook your choice of meat (bacon, ham, or chorizo) until crispy. Remove and set aside.
3
Poach the Eggs
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer. Add salt. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, place 2 warm arepas. Top each arepa with a poached egg, a slice of your cooked meat, and season with black pepper. Serve with the fried sweet plantains on the side.
