Ingredients

  • 2 sheets matzah
  • 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) milk
  • 4 tbsp (60 mL) maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
  • Fresh berries, optional
  • Whipped cream, optional

Instructions

  • Step 1

    In a bowl, break up the matzah into medium-sized pieces and pour boiling water overtop. Let sit for 30 seconds, then drain.

  • Step 2

    In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of the maple syrup, and the cinnamon until blended. Add the matzah and set aside.

  • Step 3

    In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the matzah and egg mixture and scramble gently, allowing the matzah to brown slightly.

  • Step 4

    Once the eggs are set, serve on 2 plates, drizzled with the remaining maple syrup. If desired, top with fresh berries and whipped cream.
