Matzo Brei by Chef Yossel

A traditional recipe for a most beloved Passover dish, Chef Yossel brings his Matzo Brei to the Prairie Street Culinary Kitchen!

Ingredients List for the Matzo Brei

  • 4 sheets plain, unsalted matzo
  • 16 oz water
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ cup mixture of sugar and cinnamon
  • Coarse kosher salt
  • Ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl crush your sheets of matzo into medium size pieces. Pour your water over top of the crushed matzo to fully submerge it and let sit for about 1 minute. Strain the water from your matzo and discard the water.

To your soggy matzo add in your 3 whisked eggs and combine thoroughly with your hands. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.

Cook

At your stove top, heat a large heavy bottom skillet on high flame. Once your skillet is hot, add your avocado oil and then put your matzo brei in immediately. Mix it with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes, until the matzo fries and becomes firm and golden brown. Next add your cinnamon sugar mixture and stir. It will become fragrant and sweet after a moment and ready to serve.

Plating

Take out and serve your matzo brei hot to friends and family!

Bete'avon!
