Best Matzoh Brei 5 W W Pts 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).

CINNAMON ROLL MATZAH BREI

Steps:

• For the cinnamon roll spread: Use a fork to combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until combined and uniform. Set aside.
• For the cream cheese icing: Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until combined. Then add the powdered sugar and salt and carefully mix until combined and uniform. Spoon into a piping bag with a 1/4- or 3/8-inch nozzle or a ziptop storage bag and snip a small piece off the end, 1/4 to 3/8 inch wide. Set aside.
• For the matzah brei: In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar and salt until uniform.
• Break the matzah into bite-sized pieces and put into a separate bowl. Pour on the milk until covered and let sit for 30 to 60 seconds, just until softened; you don't want to make the matzah mushy. Drain through a sieve, add the matzah to the egg mixture and mix to combine.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add half the butter to melt.
• Spoon a quarter of the matzah mixture (about 1/3 cup) into the pan and form into a flat pancake. Repeat with another pancake if there is room in your pan. Have your cinnamon roll spread ready nearby. Fry the pancakes for 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are cooked but not browned. Flip and immediately spoon 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon roll spread onto the middle of each pancake. Spread around the pancake as it melts, leaving the edges exposed. Fry for 1 more minute, or until cooked through.
• Repeat with the rest of the matzah mixture and cinnamon roll spread to make another 2 pancakes, adding the remaining butter to the pan. Swirl a generous amount of cream cheese icing onto each pancake and serve immediately with more icing!

MATZOH BREI (5 W W PTS)

Steps:

• Run warm water over each piece of matzoh until it begins to bend.
• Break each wet piece into 2-inch pieces; mix matzoh with egg in a large bowl until well coated.
• In a large nonstick pan over medium heat melt butter.
• Add motzoh mixture and cook, turning occasionally, until motzoh just begins to brown and is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

MIXED BERRY MATZO BREI

Steps:

• For the spiced sugar: Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the matzo brei: Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water. Break the matzo sheets into 1- to 2-inch pieces and add to the water, allowing to moisten for 45 seconds. Drain in a colander. In the now-empty mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, and salt. Fold the moistened matzo into the egg mixture to evenly coat.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg-matzo mixture and spread out evenly in the pan. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the eggs to make a soft scramble, cooking until just set (the eggs should still be a little runny). Turn off the heat. Add the butter, then fold in 1 tablespoon of the spiced sugar and most of the compote, reserving some for serving.
• Transfer the matzo brei to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with more spiced sugar to taste, and top with the remaining compote. Serve with whipped cream, a sprinkle of flakey salt and the remaining spiced sugar on the side.
• Combine the fruit, honey, lemon juice, salt and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is broken down but still chunky, about 10 minutes. Remove from the stove, then discard the cinnamon stick.
