Cheese Filled Plantain Fritters (Piononos)

1. 1

   Peel the plantains. Slice each one lengthwise into 4 equal slices.

2. 2

   In a frying pan, lightly fry the slices on each side until slices are pliable, not brittle.

3. 3

   Remove the slices and drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.

4. 4

   Form each slice into a ring, with ends overlapping about an inch. Secure with toothpicks.

5. 5

   Stuff each ring with cheddar cheese. Squeeze the cheese together slightly so that it will not fall apart.

6. 6

   In a bowl, mix together the eggs, salt, flour and water.

7. 7

   Cover the open ends of the piononos with the flour and egg mix.

8. 8

   Fry the piononos on each end until it is sealed and golden.
