Cannabis butter adds a contemporary twist to a traditional Passover breakfast favorite.

Approximate THC per serving*:
10%: 5.3 mg
15%: 8 mg
20%: 10.6 mg

*Approximate dose per serving is based on infusing 3.5 grams of cured/dried/decarbed cannabis into 1 stick of butter.

Serves 4

1 cup of milk
2 whole square matzos, broken into 16 pieces
4 large eggs
½ cup diced Spanish onions
4 medium-size cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 slice Jarlsberg or Emmentaler Swiss cheese, broken into pieces
3 tablespoons non-infused butter
1 tablespoon canna-butter
Salt and pepper

1) Break matzos apart into a large bowl. Cover the broken matzos with milk and let soak for 5 minutes until moist but not soggy. Drain.

2) In a large frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of non-infused butter. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté until golden brown.

3) Add canna-butter and continue to sauté for about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

4) Over a medium flame, add 2 tablespoons of butter into the same pan.

5) Sauté moistened matzo until lightly golden.

6) Add back the sautéed mushrooms and onions and Swiss cheese. Pour eggs over the whole thing and let sit in the pan for about 30 seconds. Then gently scramble until the egg is how you like it.

7) Serve immediately and Pesach Sameach!

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
