Bubby's Fried Matzo
During Passover, a favorite breakfast treat (actually an
anytime treat!) is fried Matzo. Here’s
an easy, tasty recipe.
There are
variations and a variety of condiments that people use. Here is my favorite, basic recipe. I like it served with a little ketchup and
some hot sauce.
This recipe is for two people. Adjust the ingredients for more. The amounts will be just enough to cook with
a large cast iron pan…perfect for Fried Matzo!
(Use Plain, not Egg Matzo)
4 whole pieces of Plan Matzo, (hand crushed)
1 large egg
Salt, Pepper and garlic Powder
Vegetable Oil (about 2-3 TB)
Heated Cast Iron Fry Pan
Two large bowls
Place the Crushed in a bowl; add enough cold water to cover
it. Let sit for about 5 minutes. In the meantime, heat the fry pan.
When the matzo is soaked, wring it out, by hand and place in
another bowl. Scramble the egg in a
separate bowl, and then add to the matzo.
Add seasonings, stir well.
Add the oil to the heated fry pan; place the matzo in the
heated oil.
Lightly flatten the
matzo. As it sizzles around the edges,
cut it into quarters and flip over. Cook until desired crispness. I like mine crispy, some like it softer.
Remove and serve with your favorite condiment. Some like jelly, not me! I like plan with ketchup and hot sauce – with
a nice cup of coffee!
Enjoy!
