Chayote With Cheese

Contributed By: j7286
Wal-Mart

Chayotes are delicious - the taste is similar to potato and celery. The shells are soft and edible after boiling.

Ingredients

4 Medium chayote

2 Medium onions

Butter

Salt and pepper

2 Eggs

American Cheese

Preparation

Cut the chayotes in half, place in boiling salted water and cook until tender, approximately 15 min. Scoop out the pulp and reserve the shells.

Chop the pulp and drain. Mince the onion and fry slowly in butter until transparent. Add the pulp of the chayote and season to taste with salt and pepper. Break the two eggs over the mixture and cook over low heat for a few minutes, mixing well until done. Stuff the chayote shells and top with grated cheese. Place in a hot oven 400 degrees F. until melted and golden.

Cook's Notes

Must be served hot. The chayotes develop an off-taste when they cool.
