(this is a repost from last year’s recipe.)
This recipe is perfect for those who observe Passover, but it’s also
great to eat anytime of the year, whether you are/aren’t even Jewish!
Many people complain that the entire week of Passover always
makes them constipated. Well, no wonder why –
Most matzah is made of white/plain wheat flour!
My recommendation:
eat lots of veggies, drink lots
of water and stay “regular” with these options:
– Whole Wheat Matzo – made of: Whole Wheat Flour, Water.
– Spelt Matzo – made of: Spelt Flour, Water.
– Shmurah Matzah: made locally and fresh of wheat and water. Look up where you can get in your neighborhood.
In my opinion, they’re the tastiest and healthiest
(more fiber + protein + made of whole grains),
and most important of all- they won’t make you constipated!
Here’s my recipe for Whole Wheat Matzah Brie below
(a Jew’s Passover favorite!), inspired by my dad’s recipe
who used to make it for me every year…
Ingredients:
– 1tbs coconut oil
– 2-3 farm fresh eggs (notice how yellow/orange mine are = fresher)
– 2-3 pieces whole wheat matzah (or spelt)
– 1 tsp raw local honey, fresh maple syrup or coconut palm sugar
– dash sea salt
– dash cinnamon (optional)
*Makes approx 2 servings
*Please note- I do not observe Passover as strictly as others,
so use “kosher for passover” ingredients as needed.
1. break matzah into small pieces
2. run matzah under water/soak in water to make it softer
3. whisk eggs in bowl
4. add matzah to egg mixture and let soak
5. add coconut oil to pan
6. put matzah/egg mixture in pan (and make like french toast!)
7. add sweetener of choice and cinnamon + whatever toppings you like (sliced almonds, etc)!
Voila!
Enjoy!
Be traditional. Be creative. Be Well.

be well,
