Cinnamon and sugar can also be used as a topping.

Good recipe. Crack matzoh into smaller pieces. Top with yogurt and cottage cheese, maybe some syrup or jam. Sprinkle pepper to taste. I use no milk or salt. MB

Fifty years ago, a high school friend's mom was a proponent of Adele Davis. She made the sweet version of matzoh brei substituting Ak-Mak for matzoh, with yoghurt topping and maple syrup or jam. I just made it for myself this morning with one egg, 2 1/2 Ak-Mak segments, almond milk, 1 tsp organic sugar, Greek yoghurt and maple syrup.

Love Matzoh brie but if you soak matzoh under warm water you just have to do it for about 1 minute. Beat eggs do not add milk (yuck) salt and pepper and then when done sprinkle sugar over it... mmm good.

A little dry but maple syrup solves that problem.

Sour cream, chive and salmon on top... or sour cream and your choice of jelly... that's how I grew up eating it.

Want to turn it into a gourmet treat? Make it exactly as written here but take some smoked salmon and chop it up into tiny, but distinct, bits and AFTER YOU PLATE THE MATZAH, sprinkle the smoked salmon on top. To die for. Good side dish is cottage cheese.

This IS kosher for Pesach and also excellent by the way.

Once flour has been reacted with water and rapidly baked into matzo, it is no longer subject to leavening. According to this argument, matzo and its derivatives are neither "leavened" nor "leavenable," and, therefore are permissible for consumption during Passover. A reading of the tractate Pesahim from the Babylonian Talmud (c. 500) makes it clear that in Talmudic times, matzo soaked in water was permitted during Passover; the Ashkenazi rabbi and exegete, Rashi (c. 1100), also indicates that this was unobjectionable (Berachot 38b).

I'm not Jewish, but I love Matzah Brie. And this recipe worked great for me and my husband. I'm curious WHAT TOPPING DO PEOPLE USE? I've been told jam or maple syrup. I like it savory with just seasoning salt.

I use boiled water, rather than cold, soaking for a matter of seconds, and then use 1 egg for 3 matzahs, and sprinkle with sugar once cooked. Either way, enjoy!

By PghMike

Nice recipe, and I think it is better this way than with more eggs. One change I plan to make next time I cook it is to use half the salt.

Wow, why can't we all just get along. Let's sit and hug over some Matzoh Brei. Treat your neighbors as you would your Matzoh. Carefully and tenderly.

With all due respect, I think you should delete the ridiculous comment by ELB. First, it's completely irrelevant to the issue, but that's just scratching the surface. More important, it doesn't acknowledge that both Matzah & Brie are not even English words, and that their spelling in English is phonetic. Such a small individual, ELB, to not be able to simply enjoy the information and feel the need to establish superiority. Grow up, jerk

1) Depending on taste, you can also use 1 egg to each matzoh. 2) 3 minutes is way too long to soak - it ruins to texture and won't absorb the egg - I suggest soaking for only 30 in the water and then let it sit in the egg for another minute or two before adding to the pan . 3) the matzos are not "broken in half," but rather broken in to quarter and half-dollar size pieces. 4) it's brei, not brie.

You should know "matzah" is spelled "matzoh" and that it's matzoh BREI, not brie.

When I make the fried matzah for breakfast, my husband adds maple syrup. I'll put pepper rather than salt, and instead of butter, I use Olive Oil. Fried Matzah also makes a great dinner or lunch. Add veggies. I also make a pesto sauce to add to the fried matzah and vegetable mixture.

Depending on your fried matzah taste preference, you may want to soak in water for less than 3 minutes. I found 3 minutes of soaking to be a little too much and made the matzah too soggy.
