Matzah brei with cherry chia jam (matzah french toast)
Ingredients
Cherry chia jam:
- 3 cups frozen cherries, thawed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
Matzah brei (french toast):
- 5 sheets whole wheat matzah
- 1 cup hot water
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Coconut yogurt, for serving
- Toasted coconut, for serving
Directions
For the jam:
- In a saucepot, heat the cherries until they start to bubble and get syrupy, then mash with a potato masher until it looks jammy, loose and with some bits of fruit in it.
- Add the lemon juice and maple syrup.
- Take the mixture off the heat into a heat-proof container and stir in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to set for at least 30 minutes until thick.
For the matzah brei:
- Break the matzo into roughly five centimeter chunks and place into a baking dish. Top with the hot water and let them rehydrate – about two minutes.
- Add eggs, cinnamon and salt to the softened matzo mixture.
- Melt coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the matzo egg mixture and press into an even layer. Cook until golden brown, about six minutes.
- Slide the matzo brei onto a large plate, top with another plate and invert it. Then slide it back into the pan. Cook for an additional seven to eight minutes, or until golden brown.
- Slide it onto a serving plate, top with cherry chia jam, coconut yogurt, toasted coconut chips.
