Mozzarella Matzah Brei
- Yield: 3 to 4 servings
Although typically eaten as a breakfast food during Passover, this savory dish can be enjoyed for any meal!
Ingredients
- 6 square matzahs
- 4 eggs, beaten
- very hot water, to pour over matzah
- 2tablespoons butter
- 1 dark green pepper, chopped
- 1 light green pepper, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1/4small red onion, finely chopped
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- handful or two of mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet and saute vegetables.
- Break matzah into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour very hot water over them to cover and drain well. Don’t let the matzah sit in the water, or it will become too soggy.
- Add eggs and mix well. Add salt and pepper and mix again.
- Melt butter in the skillet and transfer the maztah mixture to it. Add vegetables and cheese and stir. The matzah brei will cook quickly. Let it sit for a minute or two, stir it around to see whether it’s browning, and let sit another minute or two. Serve hot.
