Matzo brei is a Jewish dish made from eggs scrambled with matzo that is traditionally served for breakfast. This version has a few Mexican twists. Ingredients:
2 egg matzos, coarsely broken |
4 large eggs |
1/2 cup diced seeded tomato (1 small) |
21/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large fresh poblano chile, seeded, diced |
1/2 cup (lightly packed) fresh cilantro leaves |
2 green onions, coarsely chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
Directions:
1. Place matzo pieces in medium bowl. Cover with hot water; soak 15 seconds. Drain well in sieve. Add eggs to same bowl and whisk to blend. Mix in drained matzo and tomato, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chile. Sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Spoon half of chile and most of oil into mini processor. Add cilantro, green onions, lime juice, and oregano to processor; blend to coarse paste. Season salsa generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place skillet with remaining oil and chile over medium-high heat. Add eggmatzo mixture and 2 tablespoons salsa. Stir gently until cooked to desired doneness. Spoon matzo brei onto plates. Top with dollops of salsa and serve.
