Pastelón

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the plantain strips in batches until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.
2. In the same skillet, brown the beef with the sofrito, tomato sauce, adobo, oregano and olives until the mixture is dry and well seasoned, about 10 minutes.
3. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, layer half the plantains, then the beef, then half the cheese; repeat with the remaining plantains and cheese.
4. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top, letting them settle into the layers.
5. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbling and golden. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
