Breakfast and Brunch in Israel - an overview

(Hebrew) Aruchat boker - meaning morning meal
Western style breakfasts are common in Israel but bacon will only be found in non-kosher establishments. The Kibbutz breakfast is distinctive in its use of food produced by the co-operative. Workers and guests would probably choose from yoghurt, herring, cucumbers, tomatoes and other fresh fruit and vegetables of the season.
An Israeli breakfast typically consists of nothing more than some coffee (usually instant) and some small cookies or slices of cake. A fuller breakfast might include fried or hard-boiled eggs, toast, or Israeli salad: diced cucumber and tomato with dressed with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice.

Breakfast Recipes from Israel

Matzo Brei

This is typical Jewish fare prepared for hundreds of years when Passover came
Per person

2 unsalted matzos
1 large egg, beaten
salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Hold the matzos under hot water long enough to wet both sides but not to make them soggy. Drain them and then tear into 2" pieces and put in a bowl. Add the egg and gently coat the matzo pieces.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and then add the eggy matzo, spreading it over the base of the pan. Turn the pieces a few times until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with ample salt.
