Peel the plantains and cut them into thick diagonal slices.
Fry the slices in hot oil for 2 minutes on each side, until softened.
Press the plantains lightly and place cheese between two pieces.
Whisk the flour, egg, milk, sugar, and salt into a coating batter.
Coat the cheese-filled plantains completely in batter so no cheese is exposed.
Fry the aborrajados in oil for 3 minutes, until golden.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Very ripe plantains with nearly black skins balance the salty cheese better.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot for sharing with optional chili sauce or a plain yogurt dip.
