Matzen Brei

This is a Jewish recipe eaten often at Pessach.

But it is a good way to use up leftover Matzen bread. I watched YT Beryl Shereshewsky again and she presented breakfast dishes from around the world.

This was one of them. I googled other recipes and changed mine a bit. An open box of Matzen was sitting in my storage containers for a long time. 

I made Matze Ball Soup a while ago. The expiration date on the box was September 2022. But it was sitting in a closed storage container and looked good. 

The recipe is a bit like a French toast or a Chilaquiles. Leftover bread is used up not to waste it.

 

Recipe for 1:

2 slices Matzen bread crumbled with your hands

150 ml milk

1 egg

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp Maple syrup

1 tsp cherry jam

Pour the milk over the bread and stir it a couple of times. Let it sit 3 min, then drain most of the milk. Do not squeeze the bread out.

Add the egg and mix well. Heat up the butter in a pan and pour in the bread. Stir a couple of times and let it bake for 5 min.

Eat it with some Maple syrup and a dollop of jam.

There are still two portions of Matzenbread left in my box. Now I know what to do with them.
