This is a traditional Jewish dish, served at Passover. During Passover, you’re not supposed to eat any leavened bread, so matzoh is the carb of choice. Matzoh is a very large cracker and it’s just made of wheat and water. I was very surprised when I found that it was available in the biscuit/cracker aisle of most major British supermarkets; it’s not labelled as Jewish or kept in a special ethnic section, the way it is in the US.
Jews get very creative with matzoh during Passover and one standard item is matzoh brei, which is best described as being like scrambled eggs.
You can have this as a savoury dish, topped with some lemon juice, or have it sweet, like French toast, with cinnamon and sugar and maple syrup. Some people like it with jam or even ice cream too. It can be for any meal of the day and you can vary it according to taste and what you have in the cupboard.
Ingredients:
4 pieces of matzoh
warm water
½ cup milk
4 eggs
salt
pepper
vegetable oil or butter
Instructions:
1. Break up the matzoh into small pieces. Soak it in a little warm water and the milk.
2. Mix it with the eggs and season as desire.
3. Warm the vegetable oil or butter in a frying pan. Brown the matzoh mixture in it on both sides.
4. Serve with the seasonings or sauces as desired.
