Recipe Intro From alexawhatsfordinner
Matzo Brei is a breakfast staple during Passover, when those who observe don't eat leavened bread. A Jewish food, Matzo Brei is basically an egg scramble with matzo added in! You can turn this scramble into anything you want - here, I have two ways to make it: sweet and savory. You can get as creative as you want with the toppings! For savory, I went with cheese, tomato, avocado, chives, and hot sauce. For sweet, I added maple syrup, strawberries, bananas, and powdered sugar. You can't go wrong!

Method
Step 1
Start by getting the matzo pieces soggy. Rinse them under the sink faucet and set aside.

In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Break the soggy matzo into small pieces and add to the pan. Saute until golden brown.
