Fried plantains with cheese

A skillet full of lightly fried sweet ripe plantains topped with melted cheese is my ultimate comfort food. My mom used to prepare plantains this way for breakfast when I was a kid, so this dish always brings back warm memories. On those days when I feel homesick or I need a pick-me up kind of meal, a plate full of platanos maduros con queso or ripe fried plantains with cheese is the perfect curefdg45fd

  • ½ to 1 tablespoon oil or butter

  • 1 to 1 ½ ripe plantains per person – depending on the size of the plantain and how hungry you are

  • ½ cup of grated mozzarella cheese per person, or grated quesillo or a mix of mozzarella and queso fresco – this is about 4 to 5 ounces depending on the type of cheese
