Ingredients
 

  • 4 large very ripe plantains
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cups guava paste
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese cubed
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese grated for topping

Instructions
 

  • Peel the plantains and cut them into thin strips about ¼” in thickness. Preheat the oven to 350° f.
  • In a deep skillet, add vegetable oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the plantain slices and fry for approximately 2 minutes, stirring and turning occasionally.
  • Remove the plantains using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine milk, beaten eggs, sugar, cinnamon, guava paste, cheese cubes and fried plantain. Mix well.
  • Pour mixture into a greased baking pan, sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake for 30 minutes.
