Using an Oven

Notes
- Make sure you allow the sauteed veggies to cool down completely before you add them to the eggs as the heat can scramble the eggs.
- Always grease the pan to avoid sticking. You can use a non-stick pan or a good quality cast iron skillet.
- If you're not a fan of deep frying, you can choose to air fry or bake the plantain slices too!
- Make sure you cook the plantains on medium heat- if the heat is too high, they will end up getting burned, and if it is too low, it won't crisp up enough.
- When slicing the plantains, remember to slice them in rounds of even thickness. This will ensure they're all perfectly cooked.
- Arrange the plantains on the egg mixture quickly, before the egg starts to cook.
