CLASSIC MATZO BREI
In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It's a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Steps:
- Under cool running water, rinse matzo sheets until they are quite wet. Set it aside and let sit to soften while you prepare the pan.
- Place a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once it melts and the foam subsides, break matzo sheets into bite-size pieces and add to pan. Sauté matzo in butter until it browns all over, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, salt and pepper (if you're making the dish savory) to pan and scramble the mixture until it is just set but still light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sugar (if you're making it sweet) and toss well.
- Serve matzo brei sprinkled with salt and topped with chives (savory), or with salt, additional sugar and maple syrup (sweet).

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine salt, sugar, celery seed, garlic, turmeric, cayenne and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place a 14-inch or larger skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Set aside a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels.
- Using tongs, place a whole matzo into the oil, pressing down gently until well submerged. Fry for 20 to 30 seconds, then transfer matzo from the oil to paper towels to drain. The matzo will crisp and change to light golden brown after it is removed from the oil; adjust cooking time as needed.
- Sprinkle the top of each warm matzo with about a teaspoon of spice mix. Serve immediately, or cover with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place for up to several hours.

MATZO BREI OR FRIED MATZO
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).

Steps:
- Beat the eggs (like you're about to make scrambled eggs) in a medium-size bowl, and set aside.
- Wet each matzo sheet under warm running water, until thoroughly wet and easy to break apart. Shake the excess water from the matzo.
- Break the matzo sheets into pieces in the bowl with the beaten eggs, until all the matzo is broken up.
- Spray a pan with cooking spray and heat it on the stovetop on medium-high heat.
- Mix the egg and matzo together, so the egg coats the matzo, and pour into the heated pan.
- Cook as you are cooking scrambled eggs, until desired doneness.
- Once the food is plated, sprinkle lightly with salt, to taste.
MATZO BREI
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, break the matzo into 1-inch pieces. Bring the water to a boil and pour over the matzos. Quickly toss the matzo, then drain off any excess. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Mix the eggs, salt and pepper into the matzo. Over high heat, heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan. Add the matzo and fry until crisp. Flip over to fry the other side, breaking into pieces as it cooks. Serve with Maple syrup, or preserves.

Steps:
- Break 2 sheets of matzo into 1/2" pieces; place in a medium bowl. Cover with very hot tap water. Let stand for about 30 seconds, then drain. Beat 2 large eggs in another medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add drained matzo; mix until combined and a wet batter forms. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon scant 1/4-cupfuls of batter into skillet, making 4 pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Serve with jam, syrup, or whatever the hell you'd like. These rock.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add a dash of salt and pepper. In another bowl, soak the matzoh in warm water for about 30 seconds. Remove and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the matzoh to the egg mixture, tossing gently to coat (making sure not to break up the matzoh too much), and add this to the hot skillet. Allow the matzoh to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom begins to brown. Turn it over, stirring gently to cook through and allow the other side to brown (the matzoh will begin to break up at this point, which is fine). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
PERFECT MATZO BREI (PASSOVER)
There may be other recipes that look similar to this, but none with these proportions - which are what make it outstanding. 3 matzah for 4 eggs! This is a basic recipe which you can add different vegetables to if you wish, or sauteed onions, but these are the proportions that will make the best matzo brei ever! I could eat this all year long, though my cholesterol would be through the roof!

Steps:
- Break the matzos in half, then half again, and soak them in hot water for a couple of minutes.
- Remove them and with your hands, squeeze out as much water as you can (kids love to do this!).
- Beat the eggs lightly with salt in a mixing bowl, and add the matzo and mix.
- Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and when it starts to turn brown, add the mixture.
- Either leave the mixture to set on the bottom and then turn as you would a pancake (that's how I have it); or, stir with a wooden spoon as you would for scrambled eggs.
- The matzo brei will be ready in about 5 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs (I like it more done and I need about 7-8minutes).
- Serve immediately with jam and/or sour cream.
