Matzo Brei
A traditional Passover breakfast dish combining crispy matzo and fluffy eggs, perfect for a comforting start to your day.
Ingredients
- 4 sheets of matzo broken into bite-sized pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk optional for a richer texture
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs (and milk, if using) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the broken matzo into the egg mixture. Let it soak for 1-2 minutes so that the matzo lightly absorbs the eggs.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or oil.
- Pour the matzo-egg mixture into the hot skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Cook over medium heat until the underside turns golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the matzo brei using a spatula. Cook the other side until evenly cooked and golden, another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a crisper texture, consider frying the matzo brei in smaller batches using a well-heated skillet.
- Experiment with seasonings such as chives or a pinch of paprika to add subtle flavor variations.
- If you prefer a sweet twist, try drizzling with honey or serving with a side of fruit preserves.
- Adjust the egg-to-matzo ratio to achieve your desired consistency; more eggs yield a custardy result while fewer eggs keep it firmer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently over low heat on the stovetop with a touch of butter for best results.
