For a savory twist, consider adding sautéed onions, garlic, or herbs to the egg mixture. If you prefer a sweeter version, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or serve with a dollop of applesauce or fresh berries. Use good quality eggs for a richer and more flavorful dish. Don't oversoak the matzo, as it will become mushy. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your ingredients and gather your tools. (5 minutes)
02
StepBreak the matzo into roughly 1-inch pieces and place them in a bowl. Cover with hot water and let soak until softened, about 30-60 seconds. Drain the matzo thoroughly, gently squeezing out any excess water. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and pepper until light and frothy. Gently fold in the softened matzo pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated with the egg mixture. (1 minute)
04
StepHeat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, pour in the matzo-egg mixture, spreading it evenly in the pan. (1 minute)
05
StepCook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and set. Carefully flip the matzo brei and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the egg is fully cooked through. (4 minutes)
06
StepSlide the Matzo Brei onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired.
