Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (for matzah)
  • 2 tbsp butter melted (for matzah)
  • 1 large egg (for matzah)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (for matzah)
  • 4 large eggs (for brei)
  • 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter for frying
  • Salt to taste, or cinnamon and sugar substitute for a sweet version

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix almond flour, melted butter, egg, and salt into a dough. Roll thin between two sheets of parchment and cut into large cracker shapes.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
  • Break the almond flour matzah into rough 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk eggs with milk. Add the broken matzah pieces and let soak 2–3 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the matzah and egg mixture, and cook, stirring gently, 4–5 minutes, until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Season with salt for a savory version, or cinnamon and sugar substitute for a sweet one, and serve hot.
