Description
Sweet Matzo Brei is a delightful twist on the classic Passover dish, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Soaked in milk, eggs, and spices, and then fried to golden perfection, this sweet and comforting recipe is a must-try for Passover celebrations or anytime you’re craving a warm, satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 5 matzo sheets
- 1 cup milk (or more as needed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons white sugar (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter
Instructions
- Pass the matzo sheets under cool running water briefly, then crumble them into a large bowl.
- Stir in the milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to form an evenly moist batter. Add more milk if the batter is too dry.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop a generous spoonful of batter into the hot butter and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
- Variations: Try sugar-free versions with stevia and almond milk, or flavored creamers for a unique taste. You can also add fruits like apples or berries to the batter.
- Dairy-Free: Substitute margarine for butter and almond milk for regular milk.
- Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
