Spinach Cheese Matzah Brei

From Chef Andrea in the UTJ Southern Test Kitchen

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups onions (about 1 large), chopped
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
¼-teaspoon salt
Fresh ground black pepper
10 ounces of fresh spinach
3 whole wheat matzos or regular
6 egg whites
3 large eggs
1 T butter or margarine
⅔ cup KLP Cheese (Feta, Mozzarella, whatever you like)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-heat until hot. Add onions and garlic and saute  until
fragrant and soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking for about 1-2 minutes until spinach is soft. Season with
salt and pepper. Remove to a plate and set aside.
2. In the meantime, break up the matzos slightly and soak in a bowl of cold water for about 1-2 minutes until
soft but don’t let them get too soggy! Drain the matzos and squeeze out the water. Combine the matzo in a
bowl with eggs and egg whites.
4. In the same pan, melt the butter or margarine. Add the matzo/egg mixture, cooked onions and spinach and
scramble, stirring constantly until eggs are cooked.
4. Divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle each plate with cheese and serve immediately. Let everyone season their
own with salt and pepper to taste.
