MIXED BERRY MATZO BREI
Matzo brei is traditionally a Passover dish made with soaked matzo and eggs, but I like to eat it year-round. If you don't have matzo, you can use pita chips, crackers or bagel chips...you can really brei anything! I grew up eating my mom's savory matzo brei, but this is my fruity, cinnamon sugar version that hits the spot when you're craving a quick sweet breakfast situation.

Steps:
- For the spiced sugar: Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the matzo brei: Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water. Break the matzo sheets into 1- to 2-inch pieces and add to the water, allowing to moisten for 45 seconds. Drain in a colander. In the now-empty mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, and salt. Fold the moistened matzo into the egg mixture to evenly coat.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg-matzo mixture and spread out evenly in the pan. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the eggs to make a soft scramble, cooking until just set (the eggs should still be a little runny). Turn off the heat. Add the butter, then fold in 1 tablespoon of the spiced sugar and most of the compote, reserving some for serving.
- Transfer the matzo brei to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with more spiced sugar to taste, and top with the remaining compote. Serve with whipped cream, a sprinkle of flakey salt and the remaining spiced sugar on the side.
- Combine the fruit, honey, lemon juice, salt and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is broken down but still chunky, about 10 minutes. Remove from the stove, then discard the cinnamon stick.
MATZO BREI
Matzo brei (pronounced like fry) is one of the few dishes from my childhood that I'll never outgrow. The dampened shards of matzo mixed with beaten eggs and milk and then cooked in butter will never go out of style. I like to serve this matzo brei recipe in one big piece, but you can also scramble the mixture. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

CLASSIC MATZO BREI
In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It's a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Steps:
- Under cool running water, rinse matzo sheets until they are quite wet. Set it aside and let sit to soften while you prepare the pan.
- Place a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once it melts and the foam subsides, break matzo sheets into bite-size pieces and add to pan. Sauté matzo in butter until it browns all over, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, salt and pepper (if you're making the dish savory) to pan and scramble the mixture until it is just set but still light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sugar (if you're making it sweet) and toss well.
- Serve matzo brei sprinkled with salt and topped with chives (savory), or with salt, additional sugar and maple syrup (sweet).

MATZO BREI WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES
This recipe is adapted from the restaurant Jane in downtown New York. There, the chef Glenn Harris offers a matzo brei that is an expanded version of his mother's. Mr. Harris's mother, in Brooklyn, made sweet matzo brei with honey or jelly, or matzo meal pancakes the size of silver dollars sprinkled with sugar. His version is much more elaborate, with cubes of caramelized apples, a vanilla-honey sauce and mascarpone.

Steps:
- Place honey in a small saucepan or microwavable bowl. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and use tip of knife to scrape seeds into honey. Add bean to honey as well. Gently warm honey over low heat or in microwave until it thins enough to easily pour, about 1 to 2 minutes. Keep warm or reheat before serving.
- Heat a sauté pan until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons butter, the apples and sugar. Fry, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a dish and keep warm.
- Place matzos in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 1 minute, then drain, pressing to remove excess water.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with salt. Break soaked matzo into large pieces, adding them to eggs, and toss well.
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add matzo and eggs and cook, pressing down on top with a spatula, until crisp on bottom, about 8 minutes. Use a flexible metal spatula to loosen bottom and sides, then invert pan over a plate to flip matzo brei. Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan and swirl to coat bottom. Slide matzo brei back into pan and continue to cook until a crust has formed on bottom and it is cooked through, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Cut matzo brei into 6 pieces. Top each piece with apples and a spoonful of mascarpone, and serve drizzled with honey vanilla sauce.
