Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Break the matzos in half, then half again, and soak them in hot water for a couple of minutes.
  2. Remove them and with your hands, squeeze out as much water as you can (kids love to do this!).
  3. Beat the eggs lightly with salt in a mixing bowl, and add the matzo and mix.
  4. Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts to turn brown, add the mixture.
  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. 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. Serve immediately with jam and/or sour cream.
