Matzoh Brei is a classic Jewish breakfast dish that is made with matzoh and eggs. Its origin is in Eastern Europe, where matzohs were a traditional food during Passover, and leftover matzoh was used to make this savory breakfast dish. Today, Matzoh Brei is a popular year-round breakfast dish in Jewish households, especially in the United States. This dish is versatile and can be made in a variety of ways; some people like it sweet, with toppings like syrup or jam, while others prefer it savory, with additions like onions or cheese. This recipe provides a simple and easy-to-follow method for making Matzoh Brei that is both healthy and delicious.
