Matzo Brei

[Ruth Reichl]

Matzo Brei

Serves 2 as Side.

• 2 matzo crackers
  
• 2 eggs
  
• Salt
  
• 3 unsalted butter
  

Set a colander inside a bowl (to catch the crumbs) and break the matzos into little pieces, dropping them into the colander.

Remove the colander from the bowl and hold it beneath running water until matzos are damp. Allow them to drain; then put the damp matzos into a bowl.

Break the eggs into the bowl and stir with a fork until mixed. Add salt to taste.

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the matzo-egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes, or until the egg is cooked and there are a few crispy little bits.

Put on plates and serve at once.
