Matzah brei?

Leave it to Sephardic Jews to make even a pedestrian dish — the ubiquitous matzah brei, a mash-up of fried matzah and egg — into something sublime.

In his landmark book “The Sephardic Kitchen“ published in 1996, Rabbi Robert Sternberg introduced many of us to the flavors and pleasures of Sephardic Jewish cuisine. Masa Tiganitas is a Passover recipe of the Greek Jews — “tiganites” is the Greek word for pancakes and, according to Sephardic cook and author Jennifer Abadi, tiganitas is related to the word for “fried.” Masa Tiganitas is also a dish enjoyed by Italian Jews during Passover.

In Sternberg’s version, matzah squares are soaked in milk, dipped in a combination of egg and yogurt and then fried in oil. As opposed to matzah brei, or bumelos de masa, the matzah in Sternberg’s recipe is not crushed. They are left whole, dunked, fried and then sweetened with a drizzle of honey or arrope (a syrup made of grapes), and topped with a sprinkling of walnuts. Think fried matzah meets baklava. I am in love.

my family does it basically the same way except we break the matzah up first and then soak it for a couple of minutes and then squeeze it out.

technically you're supposed to stir constantly but i get kind of lazy and just let it sit until it's cooked through and the bottom is a bit crispy.

i found out my aunt, who's british and married my uncle a couple of years ago, apparently eats it with ketchup and i–

she tried it with jam this year and says she's convinced to come over to our side though.

Honestly I am so very fascinated with how diverse matzoh brei recipes are from family to family/ community to community.

The way I was taught to make it: scramble eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rinse but don’t soak matzoh under water until it just becomes slightly pliable. Break it into chunks in the bowl of eggs and mix it around. Fry it in a pan like soft scrambled eggs (over low heat, stirring frequently until it’s cooked but still custardy) eat with jam, sugar, or maple syrup on top.

Please rebloop with the way you make it because I STG 22 hours left of Passover and I’m just about sick of matzoh to last me until next year.

I just remembered you had stede making ed matzo brei outside of pesach.... do you.... eat matzo brei all year long? that was always a passover-only breakfast treat at my house. then again my nana eats matzah all year.

Yep, matzo brei's my favorite breakfast year-round! My bubbe absolutely adored it and always made it for us for breakfast when we stayed over at her house, I can remember getting SO huffy at the seders as a little kid because I was like "you know this would taste so much better if we fry it with some scrambled eggs right????"

Who was the first snake you ever got and which of your pet snakes is your favorite?

(Also I’m not Jewish but one of my teachers is and she gave us matzah a couple days ago and I ate two big sheets (??) of it in like 10 minutes it was pretty impressive tbh)

My first ever snake was a little cornsnake! His name was Crowley and he was a bar mitzvah present. He was great; the perfect first snake. He sadly passed when I was in college, I still pick up one cornsnake rescue every year in his honor.

I genuinely can't pick a favorite of my pet snakes now! The three absolutely most special to me are probably my rainbow boa AJ, my ball python Miriam, and my kingsnake Ed. They're all super special snakes who I have really special bonds with.

(And yeah, I feel like matzo is a bit better if you don't eat the stuff every year! By the end of the seder I've had my fill of it. Matzo brei is good but you will not catch me eating it outside of Passover.)

7 Up

Thanks for the tag, @soloorganaas ... I just wrote a scene for the Passover fic 😉

Rules: Share seven lines from a WIP and tag seven people.

Snippet:

“We’re making matzah brei,” Harry said. “Do you want some?”

“Oh, thank you Harry…that’s kind of you,” Remus could hear as Harry led Regulus into the kitchen.

“Good morning, Remus…Good yom tov.”

“Same to you,” said Remus cooly, not looking up from what he was doing.

“Is my brother around?”

“He’s asleep,” Remus said, taking the pieces of matzah the boys broke up and wetting them in the sink.

Regulus watched him. “Would you like some help?”

“Are you sure you’re allowed food from our kitchen? We don’t keep strictly Kosher, you know,” Remus said, unable to help himself.

Cannot believe I've never tried to top matzah brei with haroset I'm begging everyone this Passover to make sweet matzah brei and just put leftover haroset all over it. you can also add honey or a little parmesan cheese or both. Do it now it's tasty and delicious

[mariacallous]

Matzah brei is tasty it’s classic, it’s versatile, and we love it for all those reasons. But it can also be stodgy, same-y and yet another matzah-based meal that our sore stomachs don’t want. This year, bring the spirit of Passover freedom to your breakfast table, and introduce some variety, freshness and novelty to the most important meal of the day. Here are eight Passover breakfast ideas better than matzah brei from The Nosher — to fill each morning with promise.

But before we dive in, if you’re struggling to break up with ‘brei, try this cacio e pepe twist for a savory, modern matzah brei that still hits the spot.

it’s nearly 1am and I am ridiculously excited to have matzah brei in the morning and I have dayenu continually looping in my brain
