Matzah brei

(Matzo brei, מצה בריי‎‎)

Matzah brei or matzo brei is a traditional Jewish dish. It's made with a combination of matzo flatbread and eggs. Both are fried together, then served an eaten for breakfast during Passover. The matzo is torn into pieces, often softened with milk or water, combined with beaten eggs, then fried in butter or oil.


Although the dish is often savory, it can also be prepared in a sweet version with cinnamon, fruit, and honey. The sweet versions are typically topped with applesauce, whipped cream, yogurt, sour cream, or fruit jams. The savory versions are sometimes enriched with the addition of sauerkraut or onions, along with seasonings.
