    Filling the Blintzes

    All the blintzes -- thin, crisp and golden -- are ready. The filling is waiting. Now it's time to bring them together!

    1. Place a generous spoonful of filling on a blintz, in the top third, and use your fingers to square up the filling (figure A).

    2. Fold top edge of blintz down over filling, then roll, tucking in the sides as you work (figure B).

    3. Use your fingers once again to coax the filled blintzes into a square shape ( figure C).

    4. With a spatula, flatten each blintz as much as possible (figure D).

    5. Brown in butter on both sides (figure E).

    6. Serve with sour cream and strawberries.



    Eric Greenspan's Matzo Brei

    Eric Greenspan demonstrates one of his favorite breakfast treats, matzo brei, which he learned from his grandmother.

    Ingredients:
    Two crumbled pieces matzo
    1 c. water
    Two eggs
    Pinch salt
    Pinch pepper
    1. tsp. butter

    1. Hydrate matzos by breaking them up and pouring warm water over them. Let sit for a few minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, beat two eggs.

    3. With your hands, dip the hydrated matzos out of the water and squeeze out as much excess water as possible (figure F).

    4. Place matzo in a bowl and add eggs (as a rule, use one egg per piece of matzo).

    5. Heat a generous amount of butter in a saute pan. Add the matzo mixture and let set (figure G).

    6. Brown the matzo mixture on both sides.

    7. Serve warm with jam and maple syrup.
