Decades ago a Jewish friend of mine made this for me and for the last few weeks I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name. MATZO BREI!!! It's a good old fashioned Easter/Passover miracle! Off to buy some matzo.
Please make more matzo brei recipes Sam! It's the ultimate underrated munchie food. As an Italian that grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Queens NY I make it CONTSANTLY. Always a good pick me up with some good quality grape or berry jam.
Back in the day, they sold Nyafat.. which was like crisco with onions blended in. You would slather that down first before adding the matzo and egg and it gave it that extra flavor.
This is how my great grandma & grandma made matzo & egg as I grew up knowing it. Except never jam. Salty. I make it once a week or more with everything matzo & savory seasonings. I'll have to try the jam!
Looks perfect - love the flip! Recipe is exactly what I use; just double checking since I only make it once or twice a year. Been meaning to check out your local restaurants in San Diego since pre-Quarantine. #SamTheCookingGuy
I been on a kosher recipe kick lately so I’m interested in trying this soon, I think it might be a hit with my Toddler. Do have any experienced reasoning about salting the eggs before cooking? I find that if scrambled eggs come out too watery and soft if I salt before they’ve cooked most of the way. I know you’re introducing an ingredient that could potentially change the whole dynamic though
omg are you making pig feet? oh but why i really got on ur page was because im on a jewish humor page on facebook and saw this, so i had to see how its made, delish. love all the butter
In my opinion, two eggs was too much for that small amount of Matzoh. Also, we would beat the egg with milk, not water, then soak the Matzoh in it, drain the excess mixture before frying it. What he made, must have tasted like a fried egg.
Dude, you wasted 30 Liters of water to use less than a cup. What if you just heat up some water next time over the stove? Would it really have bothered you that much?
It's odd... I realize that the line between sweet and savory is generally pretty fluid in Ashkenazic cuisine. The same goes for brunch foods. Yet, matzoh brei, which seems like the perfect crossover of the two, strikes me as a dish that should only ever be savory. I'm not sure why. Maybe if I were to try it with a pepper jelly or onion marmalade, I could slowly come to accept this idea... but probably not.
Fork (or any metal) in a non-stick pan is not okay. There is a reason the pan here is chewed up. Zero credibility for everything as a result. ...and your matzo brei isn't very good.

My grandpa taught me how to make this when I was 7 years old. Every time I make it it reminds me of him.
My grandad died this week... He used to love this

We totally save bri for the end of the week, to wrap it up and so Abba can do ‘breakfast for dinner.’ 🤣. Didn’t see the raspberry jam coming though!
Thank you. We have a box of Matzoh on the fridge. Now we can do something with them. I’ll submit an idea for an episode soon. 😎
Just had this at our local diner in south Florida. I though it included Brie cheese. This dish is to die for. I’ve never had it before.delicious.
ENJOYED YOUR VERSION OF MATZAH...I COOK MINE A LITTLE DIFFERENT...WILL TRY WITH JAM NEXT TIME...GOING TO SEE IF MSKE MATZAH BALL SOUP...THANKS SAM
We like it with lox and cream cheese with capers, the savory way. With jam is great too. Just depends on the mood of the meal.

My grandmother made this for my sister when we slept over as kids. We called it matzoh brie. I think my grandmother scrambled it.
It is quite good. I haven’t had it in a long time. I may have to make some soon.
My Mom never soaked the matzah-she just rinsed it under the cold water for a spilt second while she crumbled at same time
All this time I thought I was weird for putting jelly/jam on my eggs.... and now I find out it’s a part of my heritage
Great recipe! Keep them coming.
I never had it with jam, but I always sprinkle sugar on top - I love it that way! Must try with jam...
What about the grilled onions? It’s not right unless u add the onions
@@sooofunny37 Onions are always fantastic if you want it savory!! I like mine sweet that's why I'm a chubbo!

I love when you do Jewish food!!!
Very
Never ever tried jam on the Brei, but I will NOT eat it unless it’s got grilled onions+sugar sprinkled atop the onions like Mom used to make.
What a performance just to make matzo brei, takes me minutes without all the
talking!
"There's a trashcan right here" holy shit I'm dying 😂
We always add onion! And we soak ours in milk !
We put sugar on it. I love Matzo.
love when you make Jewish food!!!

Basically, a salty, sugarless, broken-up French toast.

Laid back but utterly enjoyable.HappyPesah😊

I agree with you no milk 👍
Sam, no onions? So good with sautéed onions!!
Never saw this style of brei??? too much egg for 1 piece of matzo
I couldn't watch past 2 minutes.
Btw, you shouldn't use hot water to cook from a hot water heater... just Google why.
I miss the old gang!
Why the salt and pepper though?? 😝
My mom use make coffee matzo Brie is there recipe
What a waste of water...
How about an Eletrical kettle!?!
i love how you just casually have a i love boobies jacket on. i stan
Stop wasting the precious water, heat some in pot. Dam 😡😁😢😱😡😁👎🏽
Nonstick is unkosher
I don't like this version of SAM THE COOKING GUY. The commenters in the background...no🙁

I do NOT like this guy. He is truly disagreeable!
