Ingredients
- boiling water
- salt and white pepper
- 4 eggs
- 6 sheets of matzah
- oil, to fry
To serve:
- cinnamon-sugar
- honey
- preserves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, break matzah into fragments. Not too small! Sprinkle with a little (see Notes) boiling water to soften matzah (no more than ¼ cup).
- While matzah is softening, beat eggs. Pour over softened matzah, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Pour mixture into hot, oiled frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until matzah brei is dry but not crisp.
- Serve with cinnamon and sugar, honey or preserves (blackberry jam is particularly good).
Notes
- Some people prefer softer matzah brei, while others like it crunchier. For a softer version, use more boiling water.
- Matzah brei cools quickly. Can be reheated in the microwave.
