O M G! Looks scrumptious enough to blow anyone's diet.

I'm having baked bananas with cheese for breakfast today; is it morning yet? Well, technically, it is. Pardon me whilst I look for that banana I was saving for the kids' lunch bag.

Seriously, my stomach's vocally urging me to get up and feed it something.

Thanks, Emy! This can also be done on the grill, basting with sunflower oil, and using Queso Fresco in the middle. I can't recall what they're called here, but they're a popular roadside snack in the Amazon regions.

I know you posted "6 ripe bananas", but was wondering if maybe you meant plantains? They look like plantains in the pic, but I could easily be wrong. Looks excellent either way! Provolone I'm sure would work well also. Thanks!

Sorry, Yes indeed the recipe call for Plantains …Provolone is a great choice but any semi soft white cheese will be good .
Enjoy
