Matzo Brei With Creamed Spinach and Crispy Onions image

This is a Sara Moulton recipe. She was introduced to the dish in the mid-seventies when she was dating her now-husband who is Jewish. She thought it was a wonderful "breakfast" dish -she started playing around with Boursin cheese - she likes putting the onions on top but we like our onions in and out - so that was a slight tweak! Foodnetwork.com/eda/recipe. I think that next time I'll try it with mushrooms! :)

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 whole matzos
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup cream cheese or 2/3 cup onion-chive cream cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot.
  • Reduce the heat to medium; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Reserve the skillet and oil in which the onions were cooked.
  • Meanwhile squeeze the spinach well, a handful at a time to remove all the water and set aside.
  • Break up the matzos slightly and soak them in a bowl of cold water for 1-3 minutes; don't let them get too soggy!
  • Drain the matzos and combine them with the eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Reheat the oil remaining in the reserved skillet with the butter over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the matzo mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are scrambled and the matzo has begun to crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach and cheese and cook until just heated through.
  • Top each portion with a mound of the onions.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The matzo brei was a bit dry and the creamed spinach was a bit bland. The crispy onions were the best part of the dish.

I'm not a huge fan of matzo brei, but this recipe was pretty good. The creamed spinach and crispy onions were really tasty, and they helped to offset the blandness of the matzo brei.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and onion powder to the matzo brei, and that helped a lot. The creamed spinach was delicious, though.
