I just want to say the way I do it and I think it is the best way to enjoy Matza Brei. 5 Matza, put them in a bowl and break them by pushing your fist into them.Add some salt, and pour over them boiling water , first to cover, then another 3 cups of boiling water. Cool compleatly. Now add 5-6 eggs, on at a time, and it should look like soft dough. Heat well oil in a big skillet, and fry like an ommlete. Serve with sour cream or any marmalade or jam , try and tell me if I am not right...:) Chag Sameach, happy Seder. Scoopy. -
This was not like any other matzoh brei I've ever had, as I didn't use shmurah matzah... I used one square of (chametz) whole wheat bran matzoh and two tablespoons of All Whites, and sprayed the pan with Pam instead of using butter. To avoid ending up with a layer of egg, it's best to scoop out the pieces of matzoh from the bowl with the egg before putting them in the pan, instead of dumping it all in. I let it cook for a bit longer than stated, to crisp up nicely. Thanks for posting. -
this was ok...i used 2 sheets of whole wheat matzoh and 1/4 cup egg whites, salt and pepper - maybe it cooked too fast (i ended up with a layer of egg, and matzoh stuck to it). i would try again though, maybe at a lower heat -
If you add salt and pepper to taste, it's what we call fried matzoh and it is absolutely delicious. I guess that I am a pig, because this is soooooo good that I use 4 sheets of matzoh just for myself.

I am a mother of my 5 year old beautiful, sweet boy! And a 2 year old gorgeous little girl! I am very fortunate to be able to stay home with them. Yeah I thrive for adult conversation but that's what 'zaar is for right?! I would love to go back to school someday for either interior design, or business and culinary school to start up my own bakery or catering business, or even photography. That would be my dream come true! I married my best friend on June 22, 2003. DH works allllll day(60 hours a week) 5 days a week so I dont get to see him as much as I wish but that's why I cook dinner and treasure dinner time. It's our time to unwind together. We love watching movies together. He's a Star Wars and Lord of the Rings nerd. I love them too but don't admit it often or I will have to watch them every day! I'm a feminest, which it turns out I have been since birth, but my best friend going to school for woman's studies and sharing her knowledge, amplifies it.I would love to see a world where my children aren't condemmed to the gender rolls we give them. My Mom is an amazing cook and I picked up cooking from her, but I really am self taught. I love to experiment and try new things. I'm like a Jewish or Italian mom, forcing people to try everything I make and I don't take "no" for an answer! The whole saying that you are either a cooker or a baker is so not true, I am both! My best friend is a cooker and baker too she makes the best cake you could ever taste! (she won't post the recipe...trust me!!)but she makes some killer meals too! I just love getting a ton of ingredients out, make a appetizer, a meal with three or four parts to it,and then bake a kick a$$ dessert to follow, clean up and have all your family and friends grab a big dish and stuff yourselves, the feeling you get when you finally sit down is, to me, comparible to sex! http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/102299/100_0209.jpg
