How to Make Perfect Matzo Brei Passover

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
  2. Break 3 pieces of matzah in half, then in half again, creating smaller, manageable pieces.
  3. Soak the matzah pieces in a bowl of hot water for 2 minutes. This softens the matzah for easier cooking.
  4. Gently squeeze out excess water from the softened matzah pieces. Don't squeeze too hard; you want to retain some moisture.
  5. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the squeezed matzah and gently combine.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the preheated skillet. When the butter turns light golden brown, pour in the matzah-egg mixture.
  7. **Option 1 (Pancake Method):** Let the mixture set undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through (about 2-3 minutes more).
  8. **Option 2 (Scrambled Method):** Gently stir the mixture with a wooden spoon, cooking until the eggs are set but still slightly moist (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as jam, sour cream, or sauteed onions.
  10. Enjoy your unbelievably delicious Matzo Brei!
