Either way, matzo brie (much like french toast) is delicious!<br \/>\nHere follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s<\/a> two favorite matzo brie recipes.   I asked her, &#8220;cold water or hot water, which is your fav?&#8221; But, she refused to take sides.  She instructed me to fry up both and make up my own mind!<br \/>\n<strong>Ingredients<\/strong><br \/>\n4 matzo crackers<br \/>\n4 large eggs<br \/>\nsalt to taste<br \/>\n2 tbsp butter<br \/>\n<strong>Directions<\/strong><br \/>\nSoak matzos in cold water for 2 minutes. Drain and crumble. (some people prefer big chunks to small chunks; your choice!)<br \/>\nBeat eggs and salt together in bowl. Add matzo; mix till well-coated. Heat butter in skillet and pour in matzo mix. Fry till browned on both sides. Serve warm!<br \/>\n<strong>Ingredients<\/strong><br \/>\n4 matzoth<br \/>\nBoiling water<br \/>\n4 eggs<br \/>\nsalt n&#8217; pepper to taste<br \/>\na dash of honey<br \/>\n2 tablespoons butter<br \/>\n<strong>Instructions<\/strong><br \/>\nBreak the matzoth into nice sized chunks (at least 2 inch pieces) and place in a colander. Pour the boiling water over them.  Drain, lest your matzo is soggy and no one wants soggy matzo!<br \/>\nBeat the eggs well, adding salt and pepper; then add the matzoth.<br \/>\nHeat a large frying pan and add fat for frying. Add the egg mixture and cook over low heat till golden brown on one side, then turn carefully and brown on the other side. Serve on a hot platter as a large family-size pancake. Serve hot with sugar that has been mixed with a dash of cinnamon, or with honey.<br \/>\n<strong>More from the Our Lady of Weight Loss kitchens!<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2010\/03\/passover-recipes.html\">Passover Recipes!!!<\/a> YUM &#8230; Kugel and more!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2010\/03\/kick-childhood-obesity-in-the.html\">Kick Childhood Obesity in the Tush<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Spread the word, NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Join with Janice Taylor, your Life &amp; Wellness Coach, at Omega<\/strong>:<br \/>\nOur Lady of Weight Loss EnLIGHTens; Health, Happiness &amp; Well-Being &#8211; Janice Taylor, Life &amp; Wellness Coach, Hypnotist, author &amp; 55 pound big-time-loser, is on a mission.
