Ingredients

• 6 pieces matzo sheets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium yellow onion
• 3 stalks celery
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup fresh dill
• 4 large eggs
• 2.5 cups vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Break the matzo sheets into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Cover with warm water and let them soak for 2-3 minutes until softened. Drain well, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dice the yellow onions, celery, and carrots, then sauté them in the skillet for 8-10 minutes, or until softened. Mince the garlic cloves and add them in the last minute of cooking.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and dill and stir them into the sautéed vegetable mixture. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously. Stir in the vegetable stock, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Combine the softened matzo with the sautéed vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined. Pour the egg and stock mixture over the matzo and vegetable mixture, then toss gently to coat.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
