👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Boil the chopped plantains in salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Mash the cooked plantains in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: For a smoother texture, you can use a food processor, but a slightly chunky mash is traditional. - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Adding milk makes the scrambled eggs fluffier. - 4
Melt butter or heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the mashed plantains and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through. If using pork or chorizo, add it now and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 5
Push the plantain mixture to one side of the skillet or remove it temporarily. Pour the egg mixture into the empty side of the skillet and scramble until almost cooked.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Scramble the eggs separately or partially to ensure they don't overcook. - 6
Gently mix the scrambled eggs with the plantain mixture. Stir in the crumbled cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and everything is well combined.
⏱️ 3 minutes💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Avoid overmixing once the eggs and plantains are combined to maintain distinct textures. - 7
Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese if desired.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓Use ripe but firm green plantains for the best texture.
- ✓Don't overcook the eggs; they should remain moist.
- ✓Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
- ✓The addition of pork or chorizo adds a savory depth, but it's delicious without it too.
