This spectacular entree recipe is perfect for a brunch for a crowd during Passover. I like to break the pecans with my fingers so they are still in fairly large pieces.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. margarine or butter
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 8 sheets matzo
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. margarine or butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Preparation:

In a heavy skillet, melt 2 Tbsp. margarine and add pecans. Toast in the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until pecans are fragrant. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon and set aside.

Add apples to pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add brown sugar; cook and stir until apples are glazed. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, and reserved pecans.

Break matzos into 2" pieces and place in large colander in sink. Slowly pour boiling water over matzos, using tongs to turn the matzo pieces over once during this process; let drain.

In large bowl, place eggs and beat with egg beater until foamy. Add 3 Tbsp. sugar and mix well. Stir in drained matzo pieces until coated.

Melt 3 Tbsp. margarine in another large skillet over medium heat. Add egg and matzo mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. This will take 8-10 minutes. Stir in the apple mixture and cook for another couple of minutes until warm. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with raspberries. Serve immediately. Serves 6

Matzoh brie taken to another level, Member dreric1kansas

I was looking for something really different and found it in this recipe. Crunchy, fruity, eggy. It takes matzoh brie (a cross between french toast and matzoh) to another level. I think that those who don't like matzoh will like it too!!Also I recommend that you can also put a medly of mango (I used) , bluberries or what fruits you want.
