Matzo Frittata Recipes

MATZO BREI

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and toss to coat with the oil. Cover and slowly cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the matzo brei: Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the salami and fry for 3 minutes. Soak the matzo sheets in water for 15 seconds, crumble them with your fingers and add them to the salami. Add the caramelized onions and toss with the salami and matzo. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add the beaten eggs and cook until the eggs are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Plate with a side of maple syrup if desired.

MATZO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and then the onion. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very well browned and starting to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 3/4 cup water, stirring the onion and scraping the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, until very soft and golden, about 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 tablespoons water, then scrape the onion into a bowl.
• Bring a large kettle or saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium-high heat (no need to wash). Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, then the mushrooms. Season with the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in a little water, scraping up any bits in the pan, let it evaporate and transfer to the bowl with the onions. Rinse the pan.
• Place the matzo in a colander set inside a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water and let sit for 1 minute. Pull the colander out of the water and let drain.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs well and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the mushroom mixture, the softened matzo and the parsley and stir very thoroughly.
• Heat the rinsed skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil and then pour in the matzo mixture and smooth the top. Cook, undisturbed, until firm on bottom and edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the oven and cook until set in the middle and golden brown on top, 12 to 15 minutes. (If desired, broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the top.) Loosen from pan if needed with a rubber spatula and slide onto a cutting board or plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt and cut into wedges to serve.

• Set your timer for 18 minutes.
• Mix together 2 cups of flour with 1 cup of water.
• Knead the dough on a well-floured board until it comes together, about 3-4 minutes. If the dough is really sticky add flour a tablespoon at a time until it isn't anymore.
• Cut the dough into 8-12 chunks. Roll them out as thinly as you can. Make sure that you flour everything really well, this dough is sticky.
• Put the flattened dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick with a fork. Brush off some of the excess flour. This dough does not spread so you can put a bunch on a sheet. Put in the preheated oven and start working on the next batch.
