Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced celery, and 1/2 cup diced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but not browned, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix in 2 cups matzo farfel until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Whisk 1 egg with 1/4 cup water and pour over the top.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling vigorously.
