How to Make Matzo Brei

1. Caramelize Onions

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add a thinly sliced medium yellow onion, sprinkle in some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the onion caramelize slowly for about 15 minutes until they're completely softened and golden-brown.

2. Prepare Matzo

Break 4 salted matzo boards into smaller pieces and place them in a large bowl. Cover them with warm water just until they're soft and no longer snap, then drain them using a colander. This should only take a few seconds.

3. Mix Eggs with Matzo

In a separate large bowl, beat 6 large eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the soaked matzo to the eggs and mix everything together well. Let this mixture rest for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Cook Matzo Brei

Once the onions are caramelized, add the egg-matzo mixture to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook on medium-low heat until the eggs appear softly scrambled and slightly glossy.

5. Serve

Serve the matzo brei straight from the skillet or transfer it to a large serving bowl. Pair it with a dollop of sour cream and some applesauce on the side.
