Savory Matzo Brei Recipe #293471
Easy for adventurous cooks but family friendly. Just another way to prepare matrzo brei! Mushrooms and herbs have been added to this traditional breakfast treat, which we sometimes have for lunch. This is a slight change of pace for the regular matzo brie with the caramelized onions, mushrooms and rosemary and thyme. Marth Stewart. I hope you wil enjoy as much as we did.

- Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Melt remaining tablespoon margarine in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan to form a 3-inch pancake, lightly pressing with a spatula to make pancake even.
- Repeat, cooking 3 pancakes per batch.
- Cook pancakes until nicely browned, about 2 minutes.
- Turn and cook the other side about 2 minutes more.
- Transfer to oven to keep warm and repeat process until all the batter is used up, making about 28 pancakes.
