2 eggs, slightly beaten

In a 8" square (matzo-size) casserole spread two tbsp. of sauce. Dip one sheet of matzo in the egg-wine mixture, covering both sides and place on sauce. Cover with half the filling. Repeat matzo, meat and sauce layers, cover with third matzo sheet and remaining sauce. cook, covered on High power, four minutes, then 70 percent power for six minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes.

Poster's Notes:
In case anyone is getting bored with the usual turkey, chicken, and brisket, try this recipe. My family really likes it as an alternate and they really enjoy it.

This recipe is made in the microwave, but I make it the old-fashioned way in the frying pan and bake it in the over for about 30 minutes.
