Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and sprinkle with salt. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Guava

    Once the plantains are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Place slices of cheese over the warm plantains, allowing it to melt slightly. Then, add slices of guava paste on top of the cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your platano con queso as a delightful appetizer or side dish!
