Matzah Brei

Matzah Brei is a classic Jewish breakfast of matzah cooked with eggs. It is a traditional Jewish dish made from matzah, a type of unleavened bread, and eggs. The matzah is typically broken into small pieces and mixed with beaten eggs, then fried in oil or butter to make a sort of savory pancake. It can be served as a breakfast or brunch dish, and is often topped with sugar, cinnamon, and fruit.
