You can prepare matzoh brie in several different ways, from fluffy matzoh omelets to crisp French toast-style to batter fried like pancakes. Like most breakfast food mavens, matzoh brie lovers tend to claim there is only one correct way to make it (theirs, of course). But I have found that personal preferences aside, different flavorings are often better-suited to one method of preparation than another: tender, delicate artichoke hearts, for example, are best savored in a matzoh brie that is light and fluffy, not thin and crisp. And I think it is easier to transform a homey, savory matzoh brie into a refined side dish or light entree when it is presented whole, like a giant frittata, at more formal meals.
