Matzo Brei Pizza
Matzo Brei Pizza transforms traditional matzo brei into a savory skillet pizza. Matzo is softened in water, mixed with eggs and milk, then cooked into a firm pancake before topping with tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and optional spices like oregano and chili flakes. This combination creates a crispy yet tender base with classic pizza flavors, offering a creative twist on both dishes.

Ingredients
- 2 matzo sheets gluten free or 2 large homemade matzah crackers, regular
- 3 egg
- 2 tablespoon milk or water
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter for frying, can also use Earth Balance or olive oil
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup cheese shredded
- oregano optional, dried
- chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Run matzo under a tap of running water for 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a large bowl or casserole dish with cold water and submerge the matzo crackers in it for 20-30 seconds (if using gluten-free matzo, 20 seconds are enough).
- Break matzo into small pieces or about 1-2 inches. Transfer to a large bowl or casserole dish.
- In a small bowl, mix eggs thoroughly. Add milk, salt and pepper, and stir well to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture on top of the matzo pieces. Mix well to combine.
- Set a skillet to medium-high heat. Melt butter, Earth Balance, or olive oil.
- Add matzos and egg mixture to a small pan, and mix well. Let cook for 5 minutes without stirring, until the eggs are set. You should have a large matzo brei pancake in your skillet. Loosen the edges of the matza brei with a spatula, and flip in one piece (if it doesn't flip easily, add a bit of oil and wait a bit longer before trying again).
- Ladle the sauce on the pizza. Top with shredded cheese.
- Cover the matza pizza with a lid, and let cook on the other side for another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and gooey.
- Optional: this is the time to add any yummy toppings you like! Veggie pepperoni slices, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, sliced onions and even broccoli are some of our favorites.
- Sprinkle with oregano and chilli flakes, if using, and serve immediately.
