Note: The source did not include ingredient quantities. Adjust the amounts to your preferred serving size and the amount of matzah available.
Instructions
-
Soften the Matzah: Break the matzah into 1-inch pieces and place them in a bowl. Cover with hot water for 1–2 minutes, or until softened. Drain thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until combined.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture over the softened, drained matzah. Stir gently to coat the pieces evenly.
-
Heat the Pan: Melt butter or heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
-
Cook the Matzah Brei: Add the matzah and egg mixture to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring with a spoon or spatula, until the eggs are set and cooked through. Adjust the cooking time as needed for the amount prepared.
-
Add Toppings and Serve: Transfer to plates and finish with your favorite sweet or savory toppings.
Notes
-
Drain well: Removing excess water helps prevent soggy matzah brei.
-
Soften to your preference: A shorter soak leaves more texture, while a longer soak creates a softer result.
-
Cook over medium heat: This gives the eggs time to set without browning too quickly.
-
Customize each serving: Prepare a simple base, then let everyone choose their own toppings.
