As the seasons change and the weather starts to cool down, I find myself craving comfort food that warms both my body and soul. Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and delicious recipe that combines sweet and salty flavors in a surprising way. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a casual gathering with friends—it’s guaranteed to delight your taste buds and leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe plantains
• 150g of goat cheese
• 6 slices of prosciutto
• 2 tbsp of honey
• 50g of toasted walnuts
• 1 tbsp of fresh thyme

Kitchen Tools:

• cutting board
• knife
• baking sheet
• oven
• frying pan

To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the plantains and slice them into 1-inch rounds. Place the plantain rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.

While the plantains are baking, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the slices of prosciutto and cook until they are crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the prosciutto from the pan and set it aside to cool.

Once the plantains are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each plantain round with a small piece of goat cheese, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of toasted walnuts, and a few leaves of fresh thyme. Crumble the crispy prosciutto on top of each plantain round.

Transfer the plantains back to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the goat cheese is slightly melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
