Matzo Brei with Fresh Chives

Scott Phillips

Servings:4 to 6

Matzo brei is a simple dish of eggs, butter, and matzo (an unleavened cracker-like bread). Although typically served during Passover, it makes a delicious anytime meal. If using salted matzo, halve the amount of salt in the recipe.

Preparation

  • In a small saucepan, bring 1-1/4 cups of water to a boil. In a large bowl, crumble the matzo into 1-inch (or smaller) pieces and pour the boiling water over them. Let sit until the matzo softens but doesn’t turn to mush, about 20 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon, press the matzo against the bowl and pour off any excess liquid (there may not be any). Stir in the eggs, chives, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

    Melt the butter in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam starts to subside, add the matzo mixture. Use a heatproof spatula to gently scramble and break up the eggs, cooking until they are softly set, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Start the meal with a brightRadish & Parsley Salad with Lemon.

    Good even if you experiment with different herbs.

    instead of boiling water i prefer to soak matzo in a warm milk for few minutes.makes it creamier and more delicious.also you can pour the mixture in a cast iron skillet,cover with lid(any kind that fits) until no raw egg is visible(if you are really concern just flip it over).it rises a little, looks like omelette
