Sweet Matzo Brei

Sweet Matzo Brei

This is a recipe handed down from my Italian grandmother. Go figure…it’s a Jewish Passover dish! Serve warm with cinnamon sugar or syrup, honey, or even powdered sugar. Double recipe to serve a bigger family.

Ingredients

  • 5 matzo sheets
  • 1 cup milk, or more as needed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup butter

Directions

Step 1
Pass each matzo sheet under cool running water briefly, then crumble into a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract to form evenly moistened batter. Add more milk if batter is too dry.

Step 2
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop a generous spoonful of dough onto skillet and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on each side, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook’s Notes:

You can make this sugar-free by using stevia and almond milk in place of white sugar and milk. You also can substitute flavored creamers for an interesting outcome!
