Skinny Matzoh Brei with fresh spinach, garlic, feta cheese and onions

Posted

INGREDIENTS:

4 teaspoons olive oil

4 cups onions chopped

2 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh ground black pepper

20 ounces of fresh spinach or 2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well

6 whole wheat matzos (or regular, unsalted)

12 egg whites

6 large eggs,

2 tablespoon margarine

1-1/4 cups  feta cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. On a microwave safe plate, cook the onions in the microwave for 2–3 minutes until soft.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-heat until hot. Add onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. 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. Set aside the pan for a moment.

3. 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 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 feta cheese and serve immediately. Let everyone season their own with salt and pepper to taste.
