Matzo Brei
This is my special recipe for 2. It is sweet and crunchy. You can make this as simple as you want or add different ingredients. I have made it with fried onions or chopped scallions. But hubby had a sweet tooth. So sweet it was.

I use maple syrup, jam or powdered sugar to serve with this. A cup of coffee will finish off this sweet matzo meal. I usually heat the maple syrup (15 seconds) in the microwave.
