Perfect Matzo Brei (Passover)

Recipe #293793 | 12 min | 7 min prep | add private note

There may be other recipes that look similar to this, but none with these proportions - which are what make it outstanding. 3 matzah for 4 eggs! This is a basic recipe which you can add different vegetables to if you wish, or sauteed onions, but these are the proportions that will make the best matzo brei ever! I could eat this all year long, though my cholesterol would be through the roof!

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Break the matzos in half, then half again, and soak them in hot water for a couple of minutes.
  2. 2
    Remove them and with your hands, squeeze out as much water as you can (kids love to do this!).
  3. 3
    Beat the eggs lightly with salt in a mixing bowl, and add the matzo and mix.
  4. 4
    Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts to turn brown, add the mixture.
  5. 5
    Either leave the mixture to set on the bottom and then turn as you would a pancake (that's how I have it); or, stir with a wooden spoon as you would for scrambled eggs.
  6. 6
    The matzo brei will be ready in about 5 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs (I like it more done and I need about 7-8minutes).
  7. 7
    Serve immediately with jam and/or sour cream.

I had not made matzo brei in many years and wanted to make sure I had the proportions correct. This was fabulous and my husband- who has rarely had matzo brei ( his family is "non-gebrokts") absolutely LOVED it. I used butter b/c I could not find any decent kosher-for-passover margarine this year. If I make it after Pesach I'll use my Smart Balance for sure!
