Matzo Brei

In the midst of so many matzo cuisines, matzo brei is one of the recipes that can be served on Seder table as Passover matzo food. Matzo brei is actually popular fried delicacy made from matzo, fried with eggs. In general, the dry matzo is dipped in water or milk until it becomes soft. Then, it is broken into pieces and mixed well with eggs and eventually fried in butter. You can try out impressing variations of matzo brei such as shaping them into cakes, frittata, or breaking them like scrambled eggs. You may also combine matzo brei with meat or other stuff. Alternatively, if you adore toppings, you can top it with sauces, such as salsa, applesauce, or preserves like sugar syrup and jelly. Matzo brei is generally eaten as a breakfast food during Passover festival. Another side of the story is that some Jews do not eat matzo brei during Passover because they refrain themselves from 'gebrochts' - matzo that has come into contact with liquid. Below are mentioned some of the delectable matzo brei recipes
