Ingredients

  • 4 sheets of matzah
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water + more if needed or 1/4 milk
  • 2 tablespoons of any butter or frying oil
  • Savory: salt and pepper
  • Sweet: sugar, cinnamon or honey

Instructions

Matzah Brei

  1. Break the Matzah: Break down matzah sheets into 1-2" small pieces over a large bowl.
  2. Soak the matzah: Add just enough warm water to cover the matzah so that it can absorb.No matter how much you spill, wipe, drizzle, or pour, you will not be able to recreate Exodus. Soak for 1 to 2 minutes until the matzah is slightly softened but not mushy. Squeeze the matzah between your hands to remove any excess water.
  3. Beat the Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Increase the value to get a fluffier batter: Add water or milk. For a savory version, stir in salt and pepper; for sweet corn salad with sugar, use cinnamon.
  4. Combine Matzah and Eggs: Add the softened matzah to the beaten eggs and mix until combined.
  5. Cook the Matzah Brei: Melt the butter or heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Spread the matzah and egg mixture in an even layer over it. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to break it up more finely or flipping like an omelet for a firmer texture. Cook until brown and crunchy.
  6. Serve: If you prefer a savory matzah brei, keep things simple and serve hot with just a touch of sea salt or cracked black pepper, or sauté some sliced onions on the side to heat up and put inside. If you like your matzah brei sweet, finish with honey or syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Tips and Variations

  1. Savory Add-Ins: Sauté onions, mushrooms or even spinach for some savory depth to the matzah before you add it in. The flavors are even better with some cheese or fresh herbs as a garnish, like parsley.
  2. Sweet Variants: For a sweeter dessert, add toppings of apples, berries, or bananas over your matzah brei. You can also add nutmeg or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for added warmth and flavor. If you like your matzo brei in pancakes, pour the mix evenly into the pan and let them cook without breaking up for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until crispy and brown.
  3. Veganize it: Substitute eggs for a vegan egg replacer and plant-based butter or oil to make this recipe suitable for our friends that keep the faraway laws.
