Preparation
- To make matzotons, start by whisking eggs and oil. Add matzo meal and salt, stir to combine then add seltzer mix then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling, by mixing onion and garlic with meat and salt and pepper.
- Using moistened hands, roll matzo ball mixture into 12 (1 -1/2 -inch) balls and place on prepared sheet. Make deep hole in balls. Place 1 tablespoon filling into each hole. Re-form matzo balls into matzotons by enclosing stuffing.
- Bring large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat. Drop matzotons into pot. Cover and cook until matzo balls are tender and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer matzo balls to bowl. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead, Cover and refrigerate.)
- Bring broth to a boil over medium high heat. Stirring soup in a circular motion, add eggs in a slow, steady stream.
- Allow to cook for 1 minute, then add in matzotons and sprinkle with scallions. (optionally you can use the egg drop soup mix for passover)
