Baked Banana Plantain With Bacon And Cheese Recipes

BAKED BANANA (PLANTAIN) WITH BACON AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°, cut the ends of the plantains and peel.
• Place them in a baking dish and brush with the butter, bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and slice the plantains lengthwise but not all the way through, stuff them with cheese slices and wrap with bacon.
• Return to the oven and bake 10 more minutes until the cheese melts and the bacon is cooked.
• Chimichurri or cilantro pesto to serve.

PLÁTANOS HORNEADOS CON CREMA Y QUESO (BAKED BANANA WITH CREMA AND CHEESE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the whole bananas or plantains on a baking sheet and bake, turning them every 10 minutes, until the peel starts to split and the inside is tender when tested with a skewer, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep on the baking sheet. Carefully slice the peel lengthwise to just reveal the flesh and drizzle with some crema and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to plates to serve individually, on a platter, or directly on the baking sheet on the table. Either way, people should carve out their own banana. Serve the remaining crema and cheese in bowls on the side, in case anyone wants more.

BACON WRAPPED BANANAS

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce and honey together in a large bowl; add bananas and stir to coat bananas in marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove banana chunks and reserve marinade.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Wrap bananas with bacon and secure by threading a toothpick through the bacon. Dip wrapped bananas in reserved marinade and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
