Ingredients
- 4 heets unsalted matzo
- ⅔ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- ¾ cup JUST egg
- ¼ teaspoon black salt or regular salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
Savory Toppings:
- Sautéed onions or mushrooms
- vegan sour cream
- chopped fresh herbs chives or parsley
Sweet Toppings:
- maple syrup
- Jam or fruit preserves
- Fresh fruit
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Break the matzo sheets into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the plant-based milk over the matzo and let it soak for 30-45 seconds until softened but not mushy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Just Egg, melted vegan butter, black salt (or regular salt), and black pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture over the soaked matzo and gently stir until the matzo is evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegan butter to coat the surface. Pour the matzo brei mixture into the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring and flipping occasionally, until the mixture is set and lightly browned.
- Break up the cooked matzo brie into pieces and serve it hot, with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- To serve the matzo brie savory, top with sautéed onions and mushrooms, vegan sour cream, and herbs.
- To serve the matzo brie sweet, you can serve it with maple syrup, jam, vegan whipped cream, fruit, and/or powdered sugar.

Notes
- 💧 Just a Little Dunk
- Soak the matzo just enough to make it pliable without turning to mush—over-soaking leads to a soggy brei.

- 🔥 Sear Necessities
- Heat your skillet properly before adding the matzo mixture. A hot pan ensures a crisp, golden crust while keeping the inside soft and tender.

- 🍳 Sticky Situation
- 🍳
- Just Egg has a habit of sticking, even on cast iron. Use a thin, sharp spatula to scrape up any bits as you flip, keeping the brei intact and making cleanup easier.
