Ingredients
  

  • For the Toast
  • 4 slices sourdough or rustic bread
  • 1 tablespoon 14g butter
  • 1/2 cup 115g ricotta cheese
  • 6 slices about 3 oz / 85g prosciutto
  • For the Caramelized Plantains
  • 2 ripe plantains peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch (1.3cm) rounds
  • 1 tablespoon 14g butter
  • 2 tablespoons 25g brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml honey, for drizzling
  • Pinch of red chili flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and let it heat 2 full minutes before adding anything, until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates almost instantly.
  2. Add the butter for the plantains. Once melted and foaming, add the plantain slices in a single, uncrowded layer, working in two batches if needed.
  3. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook undisturbed 3 to 4 minutes, until deep golden brown, then flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, until glossy. Remove.
  4. Wipe the pot. Return to Sauté and add the prosciutto in a single layer, without added fat.
  5. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges curl and the meat crackles when moved with tongs. Remove immediately.
  6. Wipe the pot again. Add the remaining butter, then toast the bread 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  7. Spread each slice with ricotta, top with plantains and prosciutto, and finish with honey and chili flakes if using.
