The Kitchn: Served sweet or salty, this Passover plate is a treat
What kind of matzo should you use?
Obviously you can use anything you like, but I prefer egg matzo. Egg matzo is made from egg in addition to the flour and water and grows softer when soaked than the standard variety. Matzo brei works just fine with gluten-free, spelt, or plain varieties. I would, however, avoid the shmura matzo. I use it at the Seder, but honestly, it really tastes like cardboard -- and no amount of egg or soaking can save it.
Flavor your matzo brei
So now you've got a steaming plate of matzo brei in front of you and it's time to bring on the flavor. I like it with mounds of cinnamon sugar. My mom likes it with maple syrup or cane syrup. Love jam? Give your matzo brei a healthy dollop. Some folks love it salty, and if you're like my great uncle, you're digging in with ketchup.
