  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 sheets matzah, crumbled into bite size pieces
  • 2 eggs, beaten lightly
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 large heirloom tomato (or two small), half diced, half in wedges
  • 1 Tbsp fresh herbs, such as chives, basil or parsley

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 crumbled sheets of matzah, 2 lightly beaten eggs and ½ cup milk. Toss to combine and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a saute pan over medium heat until the butter is just melted. Add shallots, and cook for a minute or two until the shallots are translucent and fragrant. Add diced tomatoes, and cook for a minute more.
  3. Tip matzah mixture into the pan, and arrange in a flat layer. Allow to cook on one side for about two minutes, and then flip, breaking up the pieces with a spatula. Cook until all of the egg has set, about 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer matzah brei to a plate and garnish with tomato wedges and 1 Tbsp fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
