Plantain Cake

Ingredients

2 ripe plantains, sliced in half, then in strips

225 gm cottage cheese

3 egg yolks

3 egg whites

20 ml dry breadcrumbs

1 tsp sugar

80 ml olive oil

1 tsp ground cinnamon  

Directions

Fry plantain strips in the oil until brown on both sides.  Mix cheese, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.

Beat egg yolks in one bowl, and the whites stiffly in another.  Grease a baking dish, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Fold stiff egg whites into yolks, pour a quarter into the dish and spread on the egg mixture and a layer of fried plantain.

Cover with quarter of cheese and some olive oil.  Repeat layers, until ingredients are used up.

Save a little egg mix and oil to pour over final layer.  Bake in 180 °C oven for 40 minutes.

Serve with meat.
