First, break up 1 matzoh into 2 inch pieces, soak in hot water for 1 min, then squeeze out excess water. (To avoid disintegrating the matzoh, I place the broken dry pieces in a handled colander that is nestled in a mixing bowl. Then I pour the hot water overtop, covering the matzoh pieces. When the matzoh is softened but still intact, I remove the colander and then use a paper towel to absorb excess liquid from the softened matzoh.) Second, beat an egg, then fold in the matzoh pieces. Heat a frying pan with a little oil, heat, then add the egg mixture, flattening into a pancake. Brown on both sides, then serve. Season with salt and pepper if desired. I like to serve mine with a side of maple syrup. Recipe is here: http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/16045/matzo-brei/?page=0 (Apr. 2015)
