Skinny Matzo Brei With Fresh Spinach, Garlic and Onions

Skinny Matzo Brei With Fresh Spinach, Garlic and Onions

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups onions (about 1 large), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 10 oz. fresh spinach or 1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well
  • 3 whole-wheat matzos or regular, unsalted
  • 6 egg whites
  • 3 large eggs, I like Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat spread such as Smart Balance Light or Benecol Light
  • ⅔ cup fat-free feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • On a microwave-safe plate, cook the onions in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • In the same pan, melt the Smart Balance over medium-high heat.  Add the matzo/egg mixture, cooked onions, and spinach and scramble, stirring constantly until eggs are cooked.
  • Divide among 4 plates.  Sprinkle each plate with feta cheese and serve immediately.  Let everyone season their own with salt and pepper to taste.
