Recipe of Pie with an egg in a pan

Vida Recetas Editorial

The pie with an egg in a pan is a simple and surprising recipe that has gone viral for its ease and delicious result. This fluffy sponge cake, made with caramelized bananas at the bottom of the pan, cooks in minutes and requires no oven, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a quick and budget-friendly dessert. Its origin is attributed to home cooking creativity, combining basic ingredients like flour, egg, and bananas, and its popularity has grown thanks to platforms like TikTok.

Why does this recipe work?

The key lies in the caramel that forms when heating the sugar with the bananas, which adds a sweet flavor and a juicy texture to the pie. Cooking in a covered pan allows the cake to rise and cook evenly, achieving a texture similar to a pudding. It is perfect for breakfast, snack time, or an impromptu dessert, and it accepts variations such as adding cinnamon, nuts, or chocolate.

Tips for a perfect result

  • Use a non-stick pan and a lid so that the heat distributes well.
  • Do not overdo the sugar at the beginning to prevent it from burning.
  • Let the pie rest for a few minutes before unmolding it so that it settles.
