Therefore, one should eat it in a meal. However, if the pieces are deep fried then certainly the bracha is mezonot (based on Rama 168:14). This is the opinion of Sh"t Rivevot Efraim 6:234, Vezot HaBracha (pg 23, chapter 3), Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 475, chapter 26), The laws of Brachos (Rabbi Binyamin Forst; chapter 8, pg 266 and pg 263 note 111), Rabbi Yisrael Belsky in [https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thehalacha.com%2Fattach%2FVolume3%2FIssue13.pdf Halachically Speaking (vol 3, Issue 13, note 57)], and [http://www.kashrut.org/forum/viewpost.asp?mid=3312&highlight=brei Rabbi Abadi]. | ||
* There is a minority opinion of the Chazon Ish OC 26:9, Shoneh Halachot 168:32, and Teshuvot VeHanhagot 3:143(5) who hold that frying is certainly not considered like cooking and so the bracha is Hamotzei. | |||
* See Sh"t Sheilat Shlomo 1:74 who holds that the bracha is Mezonot. See also Sh"t Shevet Ha’Levi 7:27(4), Minchas Osher pages 44-46, V’haish Mordechai pages 259-261, Shalmei Moed page 344, Kaf HaChaim 168:85, Avnei Yushfei 1:39:2, and http://www.mevaseret.org/mmy/searchshiurim.php?shiur=247. </ref> According to Sephardim, who hold that Matzah is HaMotzei on Pesach, Matzah Brei on Pesach is Mezonot as Sephardim. <ref> See | |||
Chazon Ovadyah (Brachot pg 65) writes that if the pieces are larger than a kezayit the bracha is hamotzei. Piskei Teshuvot (168 note 120) writes that for Sephardim who consider Matza all year round as Mezonot can consider Matza Brei as Mezonot on Pesach. </ref>However, if it’s fried with a little oil, just enough to prevent it from burning the Bracha is HaMotzei. <Ref>Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 471:5) </ref> | |||
# French Toast is usually HaMotzei because it remains in pieces larger than a Kezayit, however, if the bread is broken into small pieces and then fried, there's a doubt about the bracha and one should eat it in a meal. <ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 23, chapter 3) </ref> | # French Toast is usually HaMotzei because it remains in pieces larger than a Kezayit, however, if the bread is broken into small pieces and then fried, there's a doubt about the bracha and one should eat it in a meal. <ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 23, chapter 3) </ref> | ||
