How to Make Matzo Brei With Creamed Spinach And Crispy Onions

  1. Chop 1 medium onion into thin slices. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. While the onions cook, prepare the spinach. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add 10 oz of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup of milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Break 6 matzo crackers into bite-sized pieces. Add the matzo to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the matzo to soften.
  5. Add the matzo mixture to the skillet with the wilted spinach. Cook until the matzo is golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in 2 ounces of Boursin cheese (or your preferred cheese) into the Matzo brei.
  7. Divide the Matzo Brei among plates, top with the crispy onions, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
