Ingredients

  • 4 sheets of matzoh
  • 4 large eggs

  3. Break the softened matzoh into small pieces and add them to the beaten eggs. Mix well until all the matzoh pieces are coated in the egg mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the matzoh and egg mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the fried matzoh from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Repeat the frying process with the remaining matzoh and egg mixture.
  9. Serve the fried matzoh warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy it plain.
