Matzo brei, sometimes spelled matzah brie or matzah brei, is a Jewish dish made from matzo soaked, softened, and fried with eggs. It is a universal breakfast but it is most commonly served during Passover, and there are endless iterations as varied as the cooks who make them. Matzo brei (rhymes with fry) can be sweet or savory. In this simple version, the matzo is sweetened with cinnamon and sugar and served with vanilla yogurt, blueberries, and bananas, but you can use whatever fruit that you would like. Try freshly sliced strawberries, chopped apples, diced juicy pear, or sliced fresh peaches.
