Matzo Brei

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

Title: MATZO BREI
Categories: Breakfast, Jewish, Usenet
Yield: 2 servings

2 Matzot (plural of
-matzah)
2 Eggs (or 3)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Oil or margarine
1/4 c Cottage cheese, well-
-drained (optional)

Break matzot into medium-sized pieces and place in
colander or strainer. Pour boiling water over them and
drain quickly (they should be slightly limp, not
soggy). Mix together matzot, eggs and seasoning in a
bowl. (You can add cottage cheese at this point.)

Heat the margarine or oil in a frying pan, and pour in
the mixture. You can either (a) heat one side until
brown, then flip over, like an omelette or (b) heat
while continually stirring, like scrambled eggs (my
tradition). Serve hot.

NOTES:

* Traditional Passover breakfast -- When I was
growing up, the main thing that kept us kids happy
about matzah-for-eight-days was my father making
"matzah 'n' eggs" for breakfast nearly every morning.
I didn't even know it had a "real" name. As I was
beginning to stock my own kitchen, the very first
Passover items I bought were a bowl, a colander and a
frying pan. Yield: Serves 1-2.

* Any printed recipe for matzo brei that I've ever
seen says "serve with honey or jam." However, in our
family, this dish is considered a savoury, not a
sweet, and we're much likelier to sprinkle a bit more
salt and pepper on top.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 5 minutes.
: Precision: is to laugh.
