This is a very simple, yet remarkably satisfying dish. Even though it's traditionally a Passover recipe, I liked it so much as a child that I used to ask my mother to make it for me all year long. It's the comfort food that most reminds me of her. (Fried matzoh is what I've called this dish since childhood, though I know that others refer to it as matzoh brei.) Ingredients:
4 eggs |
salt and pepper |
4 sheets plain matzoh, broken into quarters |
3 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. 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.
