How to make Matzoh
Brei
Ingredients
(for one adult -- can be
multiplied):
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Matzah (or 1 handful of farfel)
- 2-3 Tbs milk
- salt
- pepper (optional)
- cinnamon (optional)
- butter
Basic Directions
-
Beat the eggs with the milk, salt and
spices (if desired).
-
Crumble the matzah into the egg mixture.
-
Fry in butter like scrambled eggs.
-
Serve immediately.
Variations
-
Scrambled Egg Style:
Reduce quantity of matzah.
-
French Toast Style: Use
up to two matzot for two eggs. Use the cinnamon.
-
Frittata Style: Fry like
an omelette: leave it alone until it has set and browned a little on the bottom, then flip it in one
piece and brown the other side.
-
Omelette Style: Use two matzos for two
eggs. Soak the matzot in warm water or milk for 2 minutes while you are beating the eggs.
Squeeze the excess liquid out of the soaked matzas and crumble them into the egg mixture. Fry
like an omelette: leave it alone until it has set and browned a little on the bottom, then flip it in
one piece and brown the other side.
- Kibbutz Style: Add very finely
chopped scallions, peppers and/or tomatoes. Peppers should be fried before adding the eggs.
Scallions should be added to the egg mixture before cooking. Tomatoes should be added to the
pan when the brei is almost cooked, so that they are warmed up but not really cooked. Serve
accompanied by matzah pieces spread with avocado salad (1 mashed avocado mixed with 2 Tbs
tiny chopped onions, salt and pepper and 1 tsp lemon juice).
- Assimilationist Style: Serve with
jam or honey. Don't try this unless you can be in a room with cinnamon-raisin "bagels" without
feeling offended. If you want a sweet variation, better to serve matzah latkes instead.
- Matzah Latkes: Use the recipe on
the farfel box. Serve with farmer cheese, jam, honey or maple syrup.
