Recipe for Savory Matzo Brei
Matzo brei means fried matzo in Yiddish. The traditional way to make it is with a lot of matzo – you generally use equal eggs to matzo. Jewish people eat it around Passover. Savory Matzo Brei is salty. There’s a different recipe for Sweet Matzo Brei.
You can put whatever you like into savory matzo brei. Here are some suggestions: fry up any of the following first: chopped onions, green or red peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables that you might put into a normal omelet. You can also add cheese and/or herbs to savory matzo brei. If you’re using cheese, I’d recommend Swiss or cheddar cheese – but use whatever you and your family like.
Here’s how you make Savory Matzo Brei:

1) Soak matzo in water for a minute or two to soften (no longer than that). Take the matzo out of the water.
2) Break matzo into small pieces with your hands.
3) In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk (like you would for scrambled eggs). Add salt and pepper and stir. Then stir the egg mixture in with the matzos.
4) Put pan with vegetables back on medium heat heat. Then add the egg mixture. Break up like you would scrambled eggs while frying.
5) Add small cubes of cheese if you’re using cheese.
When it’s firm (not liquidy), it’s ready to eat.
Bon appetit!
