Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into pieces about 1 cm thick.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the plantain slices in a single layer in the pan.
  3. Fry the plantains for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly caramelized. Drain on paper towels.
  4. While the plantains are frying, whisk the eggs in a bowl with milk or water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until they reach your desired consistency (creamy or firm).
  6. Serve the fried plantains immediately with the scrambled eggs.
