Jewish Matzo Brei

Cultural Context

Matzo Brei is a beloved dish in Jewish cuisine, traditionally made during Passover when leavened bread is forbidden. This dish reflects the resourcefulness of Jewish families, transforming matzo into a comforting breakfast or brunch item. Today, variations abound, with some adding savory ingredients like onions or herbs, while others enjoy it sweet with toppings like applesauce or sugar.
