🍳 How to cook (2 servings):
Preparing the Plantains
Begin by peeling the plantains and cutting them into slices. Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the plantain slices and fry them until they're golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure an even cook. Once done, remove the plantains from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Assembling the Dish
Preheat your oven to a broil setting. Take a baking sheet and place the fried plantain slices on it. Top each slice with a piece of ham and then cover with a slice of cheese. Once the oven is ready, place the baking sheet inside and broil for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Serving
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the dish to cool for a minute before serving hot.
