Sweet Matzo And Cottage Cheese Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Soak matzos in cold water until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on a rack.
• Stir together cottage cheese, eggs, 6 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and raisins.
• Coat bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish or pan with half of butter. Put 1 matzo in dish and spread half of cottage-cheese mixture over it. Top with another matzo and remaining cottage cheese mixture. Top with remaining matzo, brush with remaining butter, and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar.
• Bake pudding in middle of oven until golden, puffed, and set, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve warm.

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).
