Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the ends off the plantain. To peel the plantain, make a shallow cut through the skin lengthwise, without damaging the flesh. Then remove the peel like you would a banana peel with your hands.
Transfer plantains onto prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, until plantains have fully softened. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
Slice the plantains lengthwise through the middle, not cutting all the way through - like a hot dog bun.
Slice the guava paste and the cheese into ½-inch thick slices. Fill each plantain with slices of guava paste and slices of cheese, side by side with each other.
Bake in the oven set for 400 F for 10 minutes, until the guava paste has softened and the cheese has fully melted and begun to ooze out.
