Today, I want to focus on Matzo Brei (pronounced "bry"), which is normally done either in a savory or sweet fashion. But what is Matzo (or matzoh or matza or matzah) anyway? Well, it's a giant slice of bread that's unleavened, forming what is best described as a giant Jewish cracker. Jews eat it on Passover (Pesach) to remember our liberation from Pharaoh. Because he liked to change his mind a lot, the Jews fled and didn't have time to leaven their bread and so it never rose when the sun…

In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It’s a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.
