👨‍🍳 Інструкції

1. 1

   Peel the ripe plantains and boil them in salted water until very tender. Drain well and mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

   💡 Професійні поради: Ensure no lumps remain for a smooth dough.
2. 2

   Add the flour, salt, and cinnamon to the mashed plantains. Mix until a soft dough forms.

   💡 Професійні поради: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to make it too stiff.
3. 3

   Take a portion of the plantain dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center.

4. 4

   Carefully form the dough around the cheese to create a ball, ensuring there are no gaps where the cheese can leak out.

   💡 Професійні поради: Lightly oiling your hands can prevent sticking.
5. 5

   Dip each plantain ball into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated.

6. 6

   Roll the egg-coated balls in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

   💡 Професійні поради: Double-coating (egg, breadcrumbs, egg, breadcrumbs) can create an extra crispy exterior.
7. 7

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

8. 8

   Carefully fry the plantain balls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

   💡 Професійні поради: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy bollos.
9. 9

   Remove the fried bollos with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

   💡 Професійні поради: Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
