Look in a Jewidsh cook-book under "Chremsel", which is more or less a fluffy pancake, lightly sugared and ideally eaten - at least in our home - with a small glass of white wine! Chag Sameach!

hi Iv'e been making matza breiall my life the french toast method but recently Iv'e been using meat or sausage with spices and sometimes adding tomato sauce it is different but delicious and filling. Also vegetables such as peppers, onions and carrots are a good addition to the meal served as lunch or supper. Also ofyen instead of frying I like to bake the matza brei.

All of these recipes with milk and cheese just don't sound right to me. Matza brie when I was growing up was fried in schmaltz. Soak the matza in water, break it up & drain, add eggs and a little salt, mix BY HAND and dump into a large pan with lots of schmaltz. Now we use oil and it just doesn't taste the same. My wife says she had a similar recipe, although no schmaltz but added sugar. I miss the schmaltz!!!

I grew up eating matza coffee and have yet to find any others with this tradition. Perhaps it is a Berlin Yekke traditions? Break matza into pieces and place in a coffee mug. Add strong coffee and sugar and milk to taste. Eat with a spoon. Mmmm fantastic. My wife a Litvak won't go near the stuff.

I missed the Recipe for the French Toast Method of making Matza Brei. Interested in it. I like to fry onions in butter till soft then add a crunchy mixture of broken Matza pieces plus beaten eggs for a fluffy omelette.

Matzah Coffee is a Hungarian tradition,as far as I know. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3383793,00.html -they seem to agree!
