La mitad de las rebanadas de un pan de caja, cortada en cubitos, se fríen en aceite o grasa vegetal y se escurren sobre papel absorbente. En 3 tazas de agua, se hierve ¼ kilo de panocha (2 o 3) con 2 palitos canela y un clavito, hasta que se hace miel. En un molde bien engrasado se colocan capas de pan alternadas con queso rallado (250 gramos), piñones, cacahuates o nueces picadas (50 gramos) trocitos de mantequilla (50 gramos) y la miel. Se hornea a 325 grados por 25 minutos o a que dore el queso que esta encima.
Opcional: Se le puede agregar un platano rebanado o una manzana pelada y picada, y pasas en las capas, y por encima, coco rallado.
Nota: Este postre es tipico de Cuaresma.
