Looking for some latin flare in your dessert? Look no further with Plátanos Asados Rellenos!

This recipe was created by my grandmother and is a traditional spin on the classic baked plantain.

What You Need:

• Plantain(s)

• Guava(s)

• Columbian cheese (Mozzarella cheese for substitution)

• Melted butter (Optional)

• Basting brush

• Non stick baking sheet or baking sheet with wax paper

NOTE: To start, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees!

How To:

• Hollow out a section of the plantain using 2 vertical cuts parallel to each other to create the boat.

• Use the basting brush to cover the plantain in melted butter (if necessary).

• Once brushed, cut thin layers of the cheese and lay them along the the crevice of the plantain.

• Take your guava strips and place them in between the cheese and plantain to ensure they don't fall out when baking.

• Place on a non stick sheet or wax paper tray and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the plantain becomes golden brown. Bake until preferred color is achieved.

• Cut up to preference and enjoy!
