Maduro en gloria is a sweet Nicaraguan casserole consisting of ripe plantains, queso fresco, milk, eggs, sugar, butter, and cinnamon. The plantains are peeled, sliced, then fried in oil until golden brown. Afterwards, they are strained in order to remove excess oil, then arranged in a large casserole dish and topped with cheese and cinnamon.

The process is repeated until there are at least two layers of plantains, cheese, and cinnamon. Milk, sugar, and eggs are combined, then poured over the layered ingredients. The concoction is baked until the top layer develops a golden-brown color.
