4. Preheat
- Heat oven at maximum temperature. Grease a mini-muffin mold with the rest of the oil.
5. Form the cups
- Once the plantain has cooled down, scoop two tablespoons of the mixture at a time and make into balls.Place the balls into mini-muffin molds and press to form the cups. Place a cheese cube into each cup.
6. Mix ingredients
- Whisk the egg and mix in tomato, chives, ham, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture into each cup enough to fill them.
