Ingredients

  • 2 Ripe plantains, sliced in half, then in strips
  • 225 gm Cottage cheese
  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 3 Egg whites
  • 20 ml Dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 80 ml Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Directions

1

Fry plantain strips in the oil until brown on both sides. Mix cheese, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl. Beat egg yolks in one bowl, and the whites stiffly in another. Grease a baking dish, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

2

Fold stiff egg whites into yolks, pour a quarter into the dish and spread on the egg mixture and a layer of fried plantain. Cover with quarter of cheese and some olive oil. Repeat layers, until ingredients are used up.

3

Save a little egg mix and oil to pour over final layer. Bake in 180 deg. C oven for 40 minutes. Serve with meat.
