Cheesy Matzoh Brei Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely crumble matzo crackers into a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl; reserve crumbs in bowl. Place sieve under cold running water until matzo is softened, about 15 seconds; drain. Stir softened matzo, eggs, milk, crumbs and salt until combined. , Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add half of the matzo mixture. Cook, without stirring, until bottom is golden brown, 3-4 minutes; flip. Cook until bottom is golden brown and eggs are cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to platter. Repeat with remaining butter and matzo mixture. Serve hot with maple syrup if desired.

Steps:

• Take the matzo and break into small pieces into a bowl. Cover with hot water for a minute. Then squeeze out the water.
• In a small bowl, beat one egg with salt and pepper to taste and add to matzo. Mix well.
• Heat frying pan with a little oil. Pour mixture into the pan. Brown one side and turn over.

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).

Steps:

• Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a medium bowl with cold water and submerge the matzo. Soak for 1 minute, then drain and set aside. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until homogenous. Stir in the matzo and set aside.
• Add the spinach to the shallots, one handful at a time, stirring until wilted. Add another pinch of salt. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the bottom is set. Use a spatula to gently pull the bottom cooked parts to the sides of the skillet to make space for more of the mixture to cook. Add the cheese. Repeat this gentle pulling process until a majority of the mixture is set, 1 to 2 more times, then turn off the heat. The eggs should still be quite wet, but they'll continue to cook a bit in the skillet. Continue folding them gently, and once they've reached your desired firmness, remove them from the skillet and serve them immediately. Top with the hot sauce and ketchup.

Steps:

• Put the matzah pieces in a large flat bowl or tray. Pour over 150ml of hot water and make sure all the matzah is covered. Set aside to absorb the water for about a minute, making sure they're evenly soaked. You want it a bit puffy but not disintegrating. Discard the excess water.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the salt and add the matzah pieces. Stir to combine.
• Heat the butter in a 25cm frying pan over medium heat until it foams. At this point, you can either pour in all of the egg and matzah mixture, and spread it in a flat layer in the pan, or form into four smaller patties. Leave the matzah brei to set for about 4-5 mins - it should be golden on the base.
• Use a spatula to flip the individual matzah brei or smaller patties over, and cook them for another 4-5 mins until golden brown. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt or your choice of toppings.
