Every year for Passover my mom makes a Babka. At least this is what my family calls it but when I googled Babka some pastries came up that don't look the same as the Babka I grew up with. I would call this a matzo savory babka for a more accurate description of the dish.

You start by breaking up some matzo in a bowl and covering with water.

After a few minutes, the matzo will become softer.

Using a plate, squeeze out the excess water that wasn't absorbed.

The matzo will that start to fall apart.


Add 3 eggs, caramelized onions and salt and pepper to taste.

Bake in a covered pan for about 15 minutes on medium heat until it is golden brown and starting to solidify.

Then you will need to flip it to bake the other side. Think pancakes! However, this can be challenging since it is a REALLY big pancake and heavy. My mom usually flips it onto a platter then slides the other side back into the pan.


This is particularly tasty with the Haroset recipe in my last post.

Yum!

    This recipe has the same exact ingredients as (what I call) my matzah brie casserole, but I bake mine. Delish!
