Mom's Mazto Brei
A delicious, traditional Jewish breakfast food for Passover, but tasty any time of year! The literal translation is "Fried Matzo."

- 8 Eggs separated
- 8 Sheets of Matzo
- 4-6 cups Hot Water
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons Manischewitz Concord Grape wine
- 2 tablespoons Sugar optional

Instructions
- Break matzo into small pieces and place in a large colander/strainer over a large bowl.
- Pour hot water over the matzo and into the bowl.
- Repeat 4-5 times reusing the same water (pour back into measuring cup from bowl, then over matzo again). Discard the water and put the wet matzo into the empty bowl.
- Separate the eggs one at a time and add only the yolks to the matzo. Add the wine, sugar, salt & pepper and stir until well blended
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to form stiff peaks.
- Fold egg whites into matzo mixture.
- Melt some butter in a large frying pan. Pour the entire mixture into the pan. Let the bottom side turn golden brown then flip the whole thing over to brown the other side.
- Flip onto a plate and allow to cool a bit before serving.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or serve with maple syrup.
