Bacon-Wrapped Provolone Stuffed Batata
(1 Servings)What you’ll need
1 | 1 medium batata (approximately 200g) |
2 | 2 slices of bacon |
3 | 50g provolone cheese |
4 | Salt and pepper to taste |
5 | A drizzle of olive oil (optional) |
How to make it
Prepare the Batata: Preheat your oven to 200°C. While it's heating, scrub the batata under running water to remove any dirt. Pat it dry, then prick it a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking. This will ensure a fluffy texture inside.
Bake the Batata: Place the batata on a baking tray and bake in the oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until tender. You can test this by inserting a fork; it should easily slide in.
Cook the Bacon: While the batata is baking, in a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel to absorb any excess grease.
Assemble the Dish: Once the batata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully slice it lengthwise and gently scoop out a little of the flesh to create space for the cheese. Season the inside with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add Provolone and Bacon: Cut the provolone cheese into small pieces and place it inside the batata. Then, take the crispy bacon and crumble it over the cheese. If you like, drizzle a little olive oil for extra richness.
Final Bake: Return the stuffed batata to the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully and the flavors to meld together.
Chef’s secrets
**Choose Quality Bacon:** Opt for thick-cut bacon for a satisfying crunch that complements the softness of the batata.
**Experiment with Cheese:** If provolone isn’t your favorite, feel free to swap it out for mozzarella or gouda for a different flavor profile!
