Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the plantains, flipping them until they achieve a nice golden color.

Keep an eye on the plantains while frying to prevent burning.

Once golden, remove the plantains from the oil and crush them using the skin or a flat object.

Set the crushed plantains aside and re-fry them for about 1.5 minutes until they are strong and solid.

Remove the re-fried plantains and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.

Season the eggs with jerk seasoning and all-purpose seasoning.

Spread mayonnaise on top of the fried plantains.

Add the seasoned eggs on top of the mayonnaise.
