pril is egg month, so if you have leftover eggs, get some whole-wheat matzos and try this high fiber, high protein dish for a well-balanced breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 5 Manischewitz whole-wheat matzos
• 2 cups Horizon Organic nonfat milk
• 1/2 cup Pavich organic raisins
• 1 cup hot water
• 3 Eggland's Best or Horizon Organic eggs
• 6 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• -Cooking spray
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 5 tablespoons Camp maple syrup

Instructions:


1. Place matzos in a large, flat-bottomed glass baking dish and pour milk over to cover. Soak matzos until softened, about 10 minutes. Place raisins in a glass bowl and pour hot water over them. Soak until they plump up, about 10 minutes, and then drain the water.

2. Combine the eggs and egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the cinnamon and salt. Lift the matzos out of the milk, and break them into bite-sized pieces over the eggs. Gently mix together.

3. Spray a large heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium- low heat. Add the egg and matzo mixture and sprinkle the raisins and sugar in. Spread everything into an even layer with a wooden spatula. Let cook briefly, and then gently stir and scrape until eggs are cooked through. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve it with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
