Ingredients
- 4 sheets of matzo

- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Toppings: sour cream, applesauce, maple syrup, or cinnamon-sugar
Directions
- Place the matzo sheets in a colander and run them under cold water for a few seconds to soften them. Break them into small pieces and let them drain.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
- Add the drained matzo pieces to the egg mixture and let them soak for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Pour the matzo mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly.
- Cook for about 5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the matzo-brei using a spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
- Remove the matzo-brei from the skillet and cut it into wedges or squares.
- Serve hot with your choice of toppings like sour cream, applesauce, maple syrup, or cinnamon-sugar.
