This recipe was much-loved when I was growing up (typically made the week or so after Passover, when there was an abundance of matzo in our home). Now that I am grown and married, every Passover my mom gives me and my brother each a box of matzo to take home after seder, and this is my favorite recipe for it (I usually make it for breakfast).
Ingredients:
-
3 large
eggs
-
2
matzos
-
cooking spray
-
salt
, to taste
Directions:
1
Beat the eggs (like you're about to make scrambled eggs) in a medium-size bowl, and set aside.
2
Wet each matzo sheet under warm running water, until thoroughly wet and easy to break apart. Shake the excess water from the matzo.
3
Break the matzo sheets into pieces in the bowl with the beaten eggs, until all the matzo is broken up.
4
Spray a pan with cooking spray and heat it on the stovetop on medium-high heat.
5
Mix the egg and matzo together, so the egg coats the matzo, and pour into the heated pan.
6
Cook as you are cooking scrambled eggs, until desired doneness.
7
Once the food is plated, sprinkle lightly with salt, to taste.
