Jewish Matzo Brei

Written Recipe: https://pressureluckcooking.com/jewish-matzo-brei/

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 baked it during the desertly escape. Instead, it became a piece of rather flavorless, edible Jewish cardboard.

But as time shifted, Jews in the kitchen got creative with what could be done with matzo to rightfully earn a place in all pantries; you can butter it, schmear it with chopped liver or cream cheese, make matzo balls, farfel, and some even top it with sauce and cheese bake it as a pizza! Also, the varieties and flavors of matzo have greatly evolved. We know having egg, onion, everything and gluten-free versions.

My savory version of Matzo Brei is loaded with onion, chives and eggs (with a cheese option) and is essentially a Jewish egg scramble/omelette that incorporates the matzo into an unforgettable and delicious breakfast or brunch treat. It so good that I make it not just during Passover, but I enjoy Matzo Brei the whole year-round!
