CLASSIC MATZO BREI



Classic Matzo Brei image

In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It's a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sheets matzo
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Large pinch fine sea salt, more to taste
Large pinch black pepper
Chopped chives, for serving
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar, more to taste
Honey or maple syrup, for serving

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).

MIXED BERRY MATZO BREI



Mixed Berry Matzo Brei image

Matzo brei is traditionally a Passover dish made with soaked matzo and eggs, but I like to eat it year-round. If you don't have matzo, you can use pita chips, crackers or bagel chips...you can really brei anything! I grew up eating my mom's savory matzo brei, but this is my fruity, cinnamon sugar version that hits the spot when you're craving a quick sweet breakfast situation.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
4 sheets egg matzo
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Mixed Berry Compote, recipe follows
Lightly-sweetened whipped cream, for serving
Flakey salt, for serving
1/2 pound (about 2 cups) fresh or frozen mixed berries
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
1 cinnamon stick

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.
