Matzo Brei With Hot Honey and Feta Recipe (2024)

Respectfully, frying separately is a thing, it just depends on whether you want crispier matzoh or not! I’ve always fried separately to have some extra crunch before adding the eggs. To each their own.

I won’t comment on the cheese and honey and whatever. Perhaps it’s tasty. But this business of frying the matzoh and then adding the eggs is just not a thing. Soften the matzoh with running warm water and then mix it in with the eggs. Then pour it all into the hot pan. We always do it pancake style, though I know other families did a scramble.

This was unexpectedly delicious. Made exactly as written for myself. Omitted the dill and chili for 5yo and she liked it too. Served with some roasted broccoli. Easy weeknight dinner for mom and kiddo. Thanks Melissa!

I just crumble the matzoh into the egg, let it sit for a minute then fry - no water

Sorry Mellisa. This tasted like scrambled eggs with fried matzoh. Meh. I made a second batch by wetting the matzoh, and soaking it in the eggs and then frying it in the butter. It had a distinctive flavor that was neither egg nor matzoh, but something much better.

This could be delicious I suppose -- the hot honey sounds inspired -- but soggy matzo mixed with scrambled eggs doesn't sound like Matzo Brei, which I've understood to be matzo soaked in eggs before frying, like French toast. As if French toast was bread soaked in water before being fried alongside scrambled eggs.

This is the first cousin of my favorite Mexican breakfast, migas!! I love it when different cultures/cuisines come up with similar solutions to similar challenges (e.g. What to do with all these stale carbohydrates? Add eggs! Voila, French toast.) I’m excited to try this! If you don’t have matzoh on hand, you could try subbing corn tortillas? Slice stale corn tortillas into ~1 squares, fry until they start to crisp, drain the oil, lower the heat, add eggs and scramble. ☺️🐣

I love this because you're absolutely right. Matzo is, of course, pre-staled. But yes, matzo brei is basically migas, is basically French toast, etc. The biggest difference is that most matzo brei recipes have you soak the matzo first in water, then in egg, then fry, so you don't end up with matzo in scrambled eggs.

My late husband made delicious chewy, crispy matzoh brei by soaking the matzoh in egg, then frying. Similar to French toast. Is your recipe more like scrambled eggs with matzoh pieces? The feta sounds great.

Thankfully there were a good number of people who made this recipe as written and then posted their comments on the result, because I had never made matzoh brei before. I had a good feta cheese available, and used flat-leaf parsley as the herb. I waasn't sure if I was soaking the matzoh in the correct way (thus my search for help from people who made the recipe), but it came out really great. I can see how one reviewer's results were a little bland (as stated), but the greek feta was not.

I loved this savory version of Matzo Brei! While I usually eat that dish for breakfast/brunch, this made a delicious dinner!

Loved it. Didn't have dill, so excited to do again with the herb. Used egg and onion matzo, which added a great flavor to the whole thing.

This will ALWAYS be made on Pesach going forward!! Perhaps not exclusively but.....

Very good prepared as directed. I fry thinly sliced onion in the butter before adding the matzoh. Even without the honey and dill it is delicious.

In Melissa’s defense, where I come from, matzoh brie is not at all like French toast. My bubbe’s and my mom’s brei had this exact consistency.

Started by sautéing 2 small yellow onions and 5 oz of sliced mushrooms till browned. Then adding everything to the same fry pan I followed the recipe as written except eliminated the honey because my family likes matzo brei savory. The feta cheese was a good addition that added flavor, texture and substance. Very good. I will make it again.

Delicious recipe. The second time we made it we added a heaping scoop of zatar seasoning to the butter while melting and it added a great additional complexity that we loved. Hot honey super easy to make from scratch. We crumbled up a few dried chili peppers into honey in a glass bowl, microwaved for about 20 seconds, stirred a lot, and then strained out the chili fragments. The unused hot honey kept well in the fridge.

I realize that there are those among you who will find my admission startling: but I made this exactly as directed and it was delicious ! Loved the hot honey.

This sounds to me like a deconstructed and then reconstructed recipe. It’s a hot mess and totally unnecessary. I tried to make it but I disagreed with the water flowing over matzah aspect of it, so I soaked the matzah and broke it into pieces instead of getting it wet whole. I basically ended up making it the way I’ve made it for 50 years and my mother before me for 75 or so years and her mother before her for 90 years and I left out the hot honey and feta. It came out great!

Confession: I've never understood the appeal of matzo brie. Scrambled eggs with blobs of soggy matzo just didn't do it for me. And then I tried THIS recipe. I made it according to the directions, only substituting gluten free matzo for the regular matzo. Absolutely LOVE it!

I made this tonight and thought it was delicious.

Loved the recipe. Salty tanginess of the feta went great with the honey and dill added some freshness.

First, because I have to eat gluten free, I used oat matzo. It's very fragile. Soaked the full sheets in water in an 8x8 pan. Poured off the water, pressed on the matzo to get as much out as possible. Gently broke it into roughly 1/6 sheet chunks, leaving the two sheets stacked together. Poured the beaten egg over, let it soak in, because otherwise it's matzo in scrambled eggs. Fried in butter, melted gruyere over because it's what I had, served with hot honey. Very tasty, if not traditional.

These ingredients are similar to a Nigella Lawson recipe for a dessert made with phyllo dough as the base, beaten eggs and feta baked in the oven then finished with drizzles of warm honey. Both recipes have delicious combinations!
