Pantāga (pantāgs, pentogs)[1] is a traditional Latvian dish, containing eggs and spices. It symbolically represents the sun as is prepared during Ūsiņš Day, and often at Easter.[2] Occasionally pantāgs was also used for sacrifice rituals and holy sites in Latvian pre-Christian rituals.[3] It is often baked on an open flame outdoor fireplace or fire, usually in a round cast iron long stem pan. The egg whites and yolks are beaten in a pan with spices, producing a form of scrambled egg. However, it is also common to place it in a microwave.
