Cinnamon Apple Matzah Brei
Matzah Brei is typically a savory breakfast of sautéed matzah and eggs, but there is no reason you can’t go sweet! This version has cinnamon sugar apples and a dollop of ricotta.
Ingredients
- 1 apple (such as Fuji, or Jazz apples) washed, peeled and small diced
- 1 tsp cinnamon plus more for garnish
- 2 tbsps Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar, divided plus more for garnish
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter divided
- 2 pieces matzah broken into bite sized pieces
- Warm water
- 3 large eggs whisked
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsps chopped walnuts or pecans for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss together diced apple, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat and add apples.
- Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until apples are soft.
- While apples are sautéing, soak matzah in warm water to soften for 15 seconds and drain.
- Add eggs, almond extract, salt and 1 tablespoon brown sugar to the matzah.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the softened apples over medium heat. Once melted, add matzah mixture to the pan and sauté until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
