  • Breakfast or brunch ~ apple matzah brei is the perfect answer.
  • Using Pesach store cupboard ingredients this is easy to make and hopefully will satisfy hungry ‘little mouths’ for more than 10 minutes!
  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 10 minutes
  • Serves: 2 – 4

Ingredients:

  • 4 large matzahs (broken into 4 cm pieces)
  • 2 Granny smith apples – cored and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Passover baking powder
  • Garnish: 1 red apple – cored and sliced

Method

  1. Soak matzah in cold water for 5 minutes.
  2. Drain in a colander.
  3. Chop apple, add honey and lemon juice.
  4. Whisk in 1 tablespoon oil, egg, and salt and mix together. Gently stir in matzahs. Mix in baking powder.
  5. Cut a circle of baking parchment paper, slightly bigger than the frying pan. Insert into the frying pan.  (This prevents the matza brei from sticking to the frying pan.)
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Spread matzah mixture evenly in the frying pan, pressing gently.
  8. Cook until underside is golden, about 4 minutes.
  9. Flip using a spatula. Cook until underside is golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plates.
  Top with apple slices.
