Matzah Brie in July

Never mind that Pesach was four months ago. I just made THE MOST DELICIOUS Matzah Brie! It was so good (and so easy), I just had to share my recipe. So here it is!

Matzah Brie (for Year-Round Yumminess)

Ingredients:

5 Salted Matzahs (I used Manischevitz)

Water

Canola oil

1/4 cup milk

3 eggs

Salt to taste (optional)

Pepper to taste

Approx. 2 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese (I used Miller’s)

Directions:

1. Over a large bowl, break the matzahs into bite-size pieces.

2. Pour water into the bowl, just until the water begins to peek out from underneath the matzahs. Mix. Let stand 5 minutes or until all pieces are softened.

3. In the meantime, in a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat.

4. Add milk, eggs, salt and pepper to matzah-water mixture. Mix well.

5. Pour mixture into frying pan, evening it out towards the edges. Fry 5-8 minutes or until solid and browned on bottom.

6. Flip. (I used the old 2-plate trick – take the pan off the flame and “pour” the rounded “matzah pancake” onto a large plate, keeping the browned bottom side down. Cover with another plate, hold tightly, and flip. Then “pour” the matzah brie back into the pan, this time browned side up, raw side down.) Fry the other side for 3-5 minutes or until browned.

7.  Sprinkle cheese over top. Let the cheese melt (1-2 minutes). Optional: fold the “pancake” in half to assist in melting. Shut off flame and enjoy!
