Savory Matzah Brei

Crush the sheets of matzah into tiny pieces into a bowl and add 3 1/2 to 4 cups boiling water. Mix thoroughly and allow the water to soak and soften the matzah.

In a frying pan, fry the onions in 2 tablespoons of oil until they’re all translucent and beginning to brown. Add to the matzah.

Mix in the eggs, black pepper and salt, until all the ingredients are completely incorporated.

Add a touch of oil to the frying pan and pour half the mixture into the pan. Flatten into a large pancake and cover.

Cook on a medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes or until it gets crispy. Flip and cook another 5 to 10 minutes.

Repeat with the second half of the mixture.

Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche, or for a bit of sweetness, a bowl of applesauce.
