matzoh brie.

beauties!

missing YOU

missing ME

i have been inside the seams of a rocking chair 

for weeks hoping for some shut eye in between 

both my babes spiking high temps & all that comes with it

no sleep for more than the normal amount of sick nights

what has kept me sane? 

nothing

ok.. maybe soledad farms pear & walnut goat cheese 

(it's truly divine and a life saver)

what do i love for breakfast on passover and many other mornings? 

matzoh brie

that last pic is my writing about 18 years ago 

when i first asked my mom how to make it 

she is the matzoh brie wizard

i did the play by play pics

so you could see how 

easy, doable, delish and kid friendly it is

and you do not have to be jewish!!

make this! 

it's fun and YUM

*gather*

matzah/matz/matzoh unsalted, egg or both

1 egg per 5 sheets (feeds 2 - 4 people)

collander and big bowl under it

wood spoon or something to gently pound matzoh

nice sized round saute pan

canola oil

coarse kosher or pink salt

apple sauce & sour cream

*rock it*

(follow the pictures)

break up matzoh in a colander

place colander in a bigger bowl that can collect the crumbs

grab your wood spoon, yam masher or pestle

gently pound the matzoh into small bitty parts

then wet the small parts with some super hot water (1/2 cup maybe)

or just put it under the insta hot for a quick second all around

have your whisked egg ready

put crumbs, egg, little bits, salt all together

mix it up

it should feel like it's sticking together

*fire it*

place oil in medium/high saute pan

wait for it to get pretty hot

place matzoh in hot pan and flatten like a cake 

don't be shy with the oil

you may want to oil the back of a stainless steel spatula 

so there is no sticky factor with the matzoh while flattening it

then you will smell when it's ready to flip it 

(a minute or 2 before burning)

you can cut it down the middle or divide it in four's

no matter what each side will brown, fry, crisp 

scoop some apple sauce & sour cream 

on the plate next to each other

in time they will collide 

it will be epic
