A dish of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, Matzo Brei can be savory or sweet.
Matzo Brei is typically made from dry matzo briefly softened in hot water or milk, then mixed with eggs and pan-fried in butter, oil or schmaltz.
For those looking for a twist on the dish, one can make Matzo Brei omelet-style, mixed with meat and other foods, or topped with sauces such as applesauce, salsa or preserves.
