Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets matza sheets
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for a fluffier texture)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- toppings (e.g., maple syrup, sugar, cinnamon, or sour cream—based on preference)
Instructions
1. Break the matza sheets into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Pour enough warm water over the matza to cover it and let it sit for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften. Drain the water thoroughly by pressing the matza gently with your hands to remove excess liquid.
3. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them together with milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
4. Add the softened matza to the egg mixture and stir well to coat all the pieces evenly.
5. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
6. Pour the matza-egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it into an even layer. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are nearly set and the matza starts to turn golden brown.
7. Increase the heat slightly and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until the matza brie is fully cooked and has crisp edges.
8. Remove from heat and transfer to plates. Add your desired toppings—such as maple syrup for a sweet version or sour cream for a savory twist—and serve immediately.
