Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 5 sheets matzo sheets
  • 1 cup milk, or more as needed Can use almond milk or other milk alternatives.
  • 2 large eggs Provides a protein boost.
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Adjust to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar Can substitute with stevia for a sugar-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter Can substitute with margarine.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by passing the matzo sheets one at a time under cool running water briefly to soften.
  2. Crumble the soaked matzo into a large bowl.
  3. Stir in the milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract until you form an evenly moist batter.
  4. If the batter appears too dry, add more milk until you reach desired consistency.
Cooking
  1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
  2. Scoop a generous spoonful of the batter into the hot butter and flatten it slightly with a spatula.
  3. Cook the matzo brei until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  4. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider serving with fresh fruit like bananas or berries, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Sweet Matzo Brei can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or frozen for a month.
