This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks, The Jewish American Kitchen.
Ingredients
  • 3 matzos
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Break the matzos in half and then in half again. Soak the pieces in hot water for 1 - 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs lightly with salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Remove the matzo from the water, and, with your hands, squeeze out as much water as you can. Add the matzo pieces to the egg mixture and stir it all together.
  4. Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts to turn brown, add the eggs and matzos.
  5. You can leave the mixture to set and then turn it as you would a pancake or omelet, or you can stir with a wooden spoon as you would for scrambled eggs.
  6. Either way, the matzo brei will be ready within 5 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs.
  7. Serve immediately with jam
