(Courtesy of Israel 21c) This Passover, ISRAEL21c producer Haim Silberstein begged his mother Rosie to share her special family matzah brei recipe with our readers.

Haim’s sister, Orna Silberstein and daughter, Tamar, also joined in the fun. This is nothing like the matzah brei you might be used to—these are cheesy fried rollups made according to a recipe that Rosie has been making for decades. Find out how to make it yourself, with or without Grandma. See recipe below.
