bocadillo

🥗Healthier: guava paste

💰Cheaper: fruit preserves

Fruit preserves can provide a similar sweetness at a lower cost.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Processed cheese is often less expensive and melts well.

Peel the ripe plantains and slice them in half lengthwise.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter until melted.

Add the plantains to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on one side.

Flip the plantains and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side.

Total cooking time for the plantains should be about 20 minutes to ensure they are well cooked inside.

Once cooked, transfer the plantains to a tray and make a slit down the center of each plantain without cutting all the way through.

Using tongs, gently open the slit to create space for the filling.

Stuff each plantain with bocadillo and mozzarella cheese, pressing the cheese down to keep it from spreading.

Remove excess cheese from the tray to prevent burning during baking.

Bake the stuffed plantains in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
