How to Make Matzo Brie

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
  2. Season the egg mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Quickly rinse 6 matzah crackers under cold running water and break each into 3-4 pieces. Add them to the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the matzah mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a large spatula to gently flip the matzah brie; if needed, use a large plate to help flip it over.
  7. Once both sides are browned, remove from heat and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
