Waffle-Style Sweet Plantain with Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 sweet plantain (very ripe, with dark skin)
• 0.25 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced)
• 1 tsp olive oil (to grease the waffle maker)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the sweet plantain and cut it into medium-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Steam or microwave the plantain until it is very soft and easy to mash.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mash the cooked plantain with a fork until you get a smooth puree.

4. 4

   Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease the plates with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.

5. 5

   Place a portion of the plantain puree in the center of the waffle maker, add the mozzarella cheese in the middle, and cover with another portion of plantain puree.

6. 6

   Close the waffle maker and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside.

7. 7

   Carefully remove and serve hot so the cheese is melted.

Notes

For best results, make sure the plantain is very ripe (skin with black spots), as this provides the necessary natural sweetness without adding sugar.
