Every Jewish family has their own take on how to make matzo brei - the classic Passover breakfast of eggs mixed with fried matzo. This the recipe from my mom.
Break matzo into small pieces. The pieces definitely do not need to be uniform.
Place broken matzo pieces into a colander and run water over them until they are soft but not soggy.
When the skillet is hot (you'll know because water dropped into it will sizzle), add butter and swirl to coat the pan.
Add matzo to the skillet and fry until the edges just begin to brown (this should only take a few minutes).
In a small bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture turns a pale yellow.
Add eggs to the matzo and scramble until cooked.
Turn out to a plate, top with syrup or jam, and enjoy.
Notes
To make a savory version of this dish, mix in lox and/or savory spices like garlic and onion powder to the eggs.Believe it or not, not all matzo is technically Kosher for Passover. It needs to be prepared in a special way and receive a certification to qualify as Kosher for Passover. Check the box for the words "Kosher for Passover" before purchasing.
