👨🍳 Ohjeet

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.

Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange half of the plantain slices in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Ensure the plantains are very ripe (dark yellow to black skin) for maximum sweetness and softness. - 3
Sprinkle half of the crumbled cheese over the plantain layer. If using sugar, sprinkle half of it over the cheese.

Layer the remaining plantain slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over this layer. If using sugar, sprinkle the remaining half.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set, golden brown on top, and the plantains are tender.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean. - 7
Let the cazuela cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a touch of nutmeg to the egg and milk mixture.
- ✓If you don't have queso fresco, a mild feta or ricotta can be substituted, though the flavor profile will change.
- ✓Allowing the casserole to rest after baking helps it firm up and makes it easier to slice.
