"Matzo-Bry" - Yid's Breakfast, By 90Nz0's Real-Life Mummy
Matzo-Bry, is a traditional jewish breakfast that is fit for a king, very filling, and puts a smile on anyone's face who eats it.
Basically, think of French Toast (eggy bread), but with Matzos. Every family have their own recipe for it, but this is how my family have it.
Feel free to ignore the lashings of brown sugar at the end, or substitue it with Golden Syrup. Try adding some cinnamon.... you can do anything you can do with French Toast. Essentially 2 eggs covers about 5 matzos, and that will fill up most people I know. Feel free to go half-half with someone and add Bacons, in the same way americans add bacons to pancakes.
Ingredients:
- Matzos
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Salt
- Butter
Method
Get matzos, about 4 will do, run them under the tap for about 10 seconds, and crumple them up into a bowl. Then mix up about 2 eggs into the bowl, and sprinkle a bit of salt.
Then mush it all together. Matzo Pieces should be approx 1cm, but it doesn't matter exactly how big each piece is.
Then put a nob (haw haw) of butter in the frying pan, and melt it down.
Now, there are two ways of doing this....
Cake Style: Push it all together into a large fritter and don't move it about. About 10 minutes later or so, tip the frying-pan outside, and serve on a plate.
90Nz0's Mummy's Style: Keep on stirring it around for 10 minutes until all the egg is cooked, all the egg should be cooked, but parts of it should be moist and other parts should be crunchy (the bits that didn't get that much egg on in the mixing process)..
Then sprinkle a plate with sugar (brown is best), poor on the Matzo Bry, and put some more sugar on top.
Serve.

tacky to suggest adding bacon to a Jewish breakfast when Jews don't eat bacon
I'd be tempted to agree with you, but considering 90Nz0 *is* Jewish, I let it pass ;)
It could be turkey bacon :)
