Recipe: Strawberry Mascarpone Matzoh Brie
Ingredients
- Matzoh brie
- 12 sheets of Matzoh
- 3 whole eggs
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons butter
- Filling
- 1/4 pound mascarpone
- 1/4 pound cream cheese
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Compote for top
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 ounce water
Preparation
To make compote: Mix sliced strawberries, sugar and water, and place in a container. Let mixture sit overnight.
To make matzoh brie: Take the 12 matzohs and break them into small 1/2-inch pieces. Soak the matzoh in cold water for about 15 minutes until soft.
Drain the matzoh in a colander and press out the excess water. Lightly beat the 3 eggs and mix with the sugar and matzoh. In the bowl of a mixer, add the mascarpone, cream cheese, the first pint of strawberries, and 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and light.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt half the butter. Place half the matzoh in the pan and gently form into a cake. Gently spread the cheese mixture on the matzoh and cover with remaining matzoh. Press together to form a pie. Brown on bottom, flip over and finish in oven, about 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with strawberry compote, and serve.
