Fried Matzoh

Passover Matzoh Brie by Andrea Watman

Matzoh brie is delicious as a midnight snack or when served for brunch or breakfast.

At my house we serve it with applesauce on the side – but you can serve it sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar, or accompanied by orange marmalade.

Don’t worry about leftovers, if there are any – just wrap them in plastic wrap and microwave when hunger hits.

For 4 People

Ingredients:
6 Plain Matzoh Boards
  Hot Water
5 Large Eggs
¼ Cup Milk
¼ Tbs David's Kosher Salt
½ Tbs

Zabar’s Ground Black Pepper

3 Tbs Butter for Frying and
1 T

Corn Oil for Frying (or you can use all butter or all oil)

 
Preparation:
1.  Break the Matzoh Boards into pieces in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Allow matzoh to soak for approx. 1 minute and drain completely. Leave in bowl.
2. 

Mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a separate bowl and pour over matzoh pieces. Be sure to mix well so that all the matzoh pieces are covered in egg and milk mixture.

3.  Heat butter and/ or corn oil in a 12” heavy fry pan. Add matzoh mixture. Be patient and allow mixture to brown before attempting to turn. Some people prefer to turn “pancake style” – at my house we break up the mixture so that we get many more browned crunchy edges – our favorite part! It should take 5-10 minutes to cook  – remember to allow the edges to brown and be sure to cook long enough so that the entire mixture is totally cooked.
4. Serve Immediately.
   
Variations on a theme:
  You can make Onion Matzoh Brie by sautéing a Chopped Onion in the pan before adding matzoh mixture.
  You can make Mushroom Onion Brie by sautéing ½ lb fresh sliced mushroom and a chopped onion in the same pan before adding matzoh mixture.
