Ingredients

• 4 sheets Matzo
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (or Passover-friendly oil for frying)
• 0 Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh berries or fruit (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

1. Break the matzo sheets into quarters and soak them in a large bowl of warm water for about 1-2 minutes, or until just pliable. Be careful not to let them get too mushy. Remove from the water and gently shake off excess moisture.

Step 2

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or non-dairy alternative), sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil). Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 4

4. Dip one piece of softened matzo into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated. Let any excess drip off before placing the matzo in the hot skillet.

Step 5

5. Cook the matzo for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining matzo and egg mixture, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

6. Serve the Passover French Toast warm, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or your choice of toppings.
