Matzo Babka Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Crainny / All my dishes 6 months, 2 weeks ago My mom used to make this for breakfast on Sundays. It's so much better than your ordinary roll or French toast. Try it with your favorite cheese, deli meat or deli spread. Prep:5m Cook:5m Servings:6	Crainny

Ingredients

4-5 sheets of matzo, flavored or plain doesn't matter

3 large eggs

water

salt

pepper

cooking oil

Directions

Break matzo into coarse pieces, about 1/2 to 1 inch big

Cover with cold water and let soak for 1 minute

Drain the water and give matzo a good squeeze

Beat the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste and mix them with matzo pieces, stir well, letting eggs penetrate the matzo

Heat cooking oil in a thick bottom skillet

Fold the matzo mix out on the skillet and spread evenly

Reduce heat to medium and fry on one side for about 4-5 minutes or until pleasantly brown

Cover your skillet with either lid that has no prominent rim, or a large plate that fits over the skillet

Turn the babka (with the skillet) over onto the lid and carefully let it slide back into the skillet - raw side down

Don't get discouraged if babka breaks on your first try. Just pat it right back together and smooth over with the watered spatula.

Fry for another 5 minutes on other side.

If you like melted cheese, right before removing from heat, sprinkle some grated or crumbled cheese on your babka and cover with the lid for a minute or so.

Cut like pizza into 6-8 slices. Serve hot

Try with:

bologna, salami (I know, total blasphemy, but oh, yum), prosciutto, all sorts of cheeses, goat cheese, feta cheese, garlicky spreads, cream cheese, smoked salmon, honey, jelly or fruit preserves, plain organic butter, sliced cucumber+feta, sliced daikon (white radish)+mayo... let your imagination flow

Excellent! Why do you call it a "babka" though? I thought that babkas where cakes made with yeast and baked? Ohh and if you do have a good recipe for a chocolate babka, could you please share it with us? Thank you again (and again) for another great recipe!

Technically, it's not a babka, but I call any bake a babka. But then again, it's not a "bake" either... Hmm... You got me thinking
I don't have chocolate babka recipe though, sorry
