Ingredients
Instructions
Add eggs to a bowl and scramble with a whisk along with 1 tablespoon milk or water until the eggs are nice and fluffy.
Run a sheet of matzo under running hot water for 20-60 seconds until it just begins to soften. Let it get soft, but don't let it turn mushy! Shake off the excess water and reserve the matzo.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Break the matzo into small pieces and place them in the skillet. Sauté the matzo pieces over medium heat for about a minute, until they are evenly coated with butter.
Pour the scrambled egg mixture over the matzo pieces. Stir the eggs with a spatula until they are well combined with the matzo.
Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes over medium heat, flipping and stirring continuously—don't let the eggs sit, or they will overcook. You want the eggs cooked soft, not runny, but just barely cooked. Overcooked or browned eggs ruin the flavor entirely.
Serve the matzo brei immediately with a small side of applesauce and sour cream, or maple syrup if you prefer a sweet version.
