Matzo Brei With Creamed Spinach and Crispy Onions image

This is a Sara Moulton recipe. She was introduced to the dish in the mid-seventies when she was dating her now-husband who is Jewish. She thought it was a wonderful "breakfast" dish -she started playing around with Boursin cheese - she likes putting the onions on top but we like our onions in and out - so that was a slight tweak! Foodnetwork.com/eda/recipe. I think that next time I'll try it with mushrooms! :)

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 whole matzos
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup cream cheese or 2/3 cup onion-chive cream cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot.
  • Reduce the heat to medium; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Reserve the skillet and oil in which the onions were cooked.
  • Meanwhile squeeze the spinach well, a handful at a time to remove all the water and set aside.
  • Break up the matzos slightly and soak them in a bowl of cold water for 1-3 minutes; don't let them get too soggy!
  • Drain the matzos and combine them with the eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Reheat the oil remaining in the reserved skillet with the butter over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the matzo mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are scrambled and the matzo has begun to crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach and cheese and cook until just heated through.
  • Top each portion with a mound of the onions.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more salt to the matzo brei batter.
