Classic Matzo Brei
Matzo Brei (the sweet kind!) is something we look forward to every year. There is something special about the semi-crisp matzah pieces combined with the scrambled egg that creates a flavor unlike anything else. After a long Passover seder stretching into the early hours of the morning, you can eat this matzo brei to cure your hangover from the four (or more?) cups of wine.
***Insider tip: Don’t overcook the eggs- they should be just cooked through, but not starting to brown.
Pass the maple syrup!
