Rebeccas Matzo Brei Recipes

CLASSIC MATZO BREI

Steps:

• Under cool running water, rinse matzo sheets until they are quite wet. Set it aside and let sit to soften while you prepare the pan.
• Place a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once it melts and the foam subsides, break matzo sheets into bite-size pieces and add to pan. Sauté matzo in butter until it browns all over, about 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, salt and pepper (if you're making the dish savory) to pan and scramble the mixture until it is just set but still light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sugar (if you're making it sweet) and toss well.
• Serve matzo brei sprinkled with salt and topped with chives (savory), or with salt, additional sugar and maple syrup (sweet).

MATZO BREI

Steps:

• Take the matzo and break into small pieces into a bowl. Cover with hot water for a minute. Then squeeze out the water.
• In a small bowl, beat one egg with salt and pepper to taste and add to matzo. Mix well.
• Heat frying pan with a little oil. Pour mixture into the pan. Brown one side and turn over.

MATZO BREI

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, break the matzo into 1-inch pieces. Bring the water to a boil and pour over the matzos. Quickly toss the matzo, then drain off any excess. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Mix the eggs, salt and pepper into the matzo. Over high heat, heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan. Add the matzo and fry until crisp. Flip over to fry the other side, breaking into pieces as it cooks. Serve with Maple syrup, or preserves.

MATZO BREI

Steps:

• Break your matzo board into pieces. I prefer larger pieces around 1"-2" square. Place the broken matzo in a bowl and cover with boiling water.
• Let matzo sit in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes and drain.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg with salt, pepper and chopped dill. Toss in drained matzo and mix well.

REBECCA'S MATZO BREI

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a wire whisk. Add salt, cinnamon, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix in milk and oil.
• Rinse matzo under running water until softened, breaking into pieces less than 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Drain and add to the egg mixture; stir carefully to coat.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the matzo-egg mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are firm and slightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

FRIED MATZOH

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add a dash of salt and pepper. In another bowl, soak the matzoh in warm water for about 30 seconds. Remove and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the matzoh to the egg mixture, tossing gently to coat (making sure not to break up the matzoh too much), and add this to the hot skillet. Allow the matzoh to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom begins to brown. Turn it over, stirring gently to cook through and allow the other side to brown (the matzoh will begin to break up at this point, which is fine). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
