Next week is Passover (April 18 -26) so our house will be free of bagels (see last post) and full of matza. I’m not exactly a fan of this holiday but that’s another post in itself.
Here’s a favorite meal that we make throughout the week. It’s simple to make and delicious too.
All you need is three ingredients:
For one portion – 1 egg, 2 pieces of matza and 1/4 cup of milk (you could add more if you wanted). I used skim milk as it’s all I had -but 2% or homo would probably be even better.
Step One:
Whisk the milk and the egg. (simple)
Step Two:
Crush the matza and immerse in the milk mixture.
Step Three:
Put the mixture into a heated frying pan (that has been coated with a little oil)
Step Four:
Move the pieces around every once in a while so the matza gets burnt-looking. Does that make sense?
End result with look like this:
Step Five:
Enjoy with sour cream, jam, or cream cheese. (which is why this dish is so yummy).
NOTE: The traditional name for this dish is MATZA BREI (pronounced br-i).
My friend tells me she has never ever used milk. She just wets the matza with water. We laughed as I had never heard of just using water!!
As for finding matza: it’s in every grocery store from coast to coast.
To all my Jewish Readers…Happy Passover.
