How to Make Matzoh Brei 5 W W Pts

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place 6 pieces of matzah in a large bowl and run warm water over each piece until softened but not soggy (about 5 seconds per piece).
Break each softened matzah piece into 2-inch squares.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for extra fluffiness), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the matzah pieces to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat completely.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet.
Add the matzah mixture to the skillet and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like chives or dill) or a dollop of sour cream or applesauce (optional).
