45 minThis humble Passover staple transforms matzo crackers into something entirely unexpected: a tender, eggy pancake with crispy, lacy edges.
Soak the matzo until soft, beat with eggs and grated onion, then fry until puffed and golden.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of sour cream, or your favorite jam for a breakfast that feels like a hug.
Chef Tips
- Don’t over-soak: Matzo should be soft but not mushy; drain well to prevent soggy omelets
- Beat vigorously: Whip the egg mixture until frothy for lighter, fluffier texture
- High heat start: Use medium-high heat to get those crispy edges, then lower to cook through without burning
Ingredients
Directions
Break matzos into small pieces.
Pour boiling water to cover over them and let stand a few minutes.
Then drain and beat all ingredients together very well.
Heat fat in skillet. Pour batter in. This should make 4 good sized omelets.
