HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

02

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and caramelized. Remove the plantains from the skillet and set aside.

03

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

04

Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, for 2-3 minutes until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly wet.

05

Fold in the cooked plantain slices and shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

06

Serve immediately.
