Description
Discover the simple and delicious way to make Perfect Matzo Brei, combining sweet and savory flavors for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Matzo (Break it into pieces to soak effectively.)
- 2 large Eggs (Use 1–2 eggs for different textures; try a vegan egg replacement for a plant-based dish.)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil (Any cooking oil is acceptable; opt for olive oil for a healthier twist.)
- 1 cup Milk or Water (Milk makes it richer; water keeps it light and refreshing.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla (Leave it out if you’re leaning towards savory flavors.)
- Toppings of Choice (Customize with sweet (like maple syrup, fresh fruit) or savory (such as salt, pepper) enhancements.)
Instructions
- Gather bowls: one with warm water for soaking the matzo and another with beaten eggs mixed with milk or water.
- Soak broken matzo pieces in warm water for about 1-2 minutes until softened but not mushy.
- Drain soaked matzo and mix with the egg mixture, allowing it to absorb for up to a minute.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt your choice of butter or oil until it glistens.
- Pour the coated matzo mixture into the pan, cooking for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of eggs for desired texture.
- Use a vegan substitute for a plant-based option.
- Experiment with toppings for different flavor profiles.
