MATZO BREI

Matzo brei (pronounced like fry) is one of the few dishes from my childhood that I'll never outgrow. The dampened shards of matzo mixed with beaten eggs and milk and then cooked in butter will never go out of style. I like to serve this matzo brei recipe in one big piece, but you can also scramble the mixture. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

MOZZARELLA AND SPINACH MATZO BREI

Matzo brei is one of my all-time favorite foods! It is typically eaten on Passover since it is customary to avoid leavened bread. Matzo, a cracker-like unleavened bread, gets soft and chewy when it's soaked and scrambled with eggs in this traditional dish. Some people like sweet matzo brei sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, but I am on Team Savory Brei 4ever!

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sheets matzo, broken into approximately 1-inch pieces
4 large eggs
Splash heavy cream
3 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Hot sauce and ketchup, for serving
