A simple, quick, and budget-friendly Passover breakfast scramble combining eggs and matzo for a comforting and traditional meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, preferably room temperature
  • 2 sheets matzo, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (dairy-free milk optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional) such as parsley or dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon za’atar spice blend (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small clove fresh minced garlic (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of milk or water. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until uniform and slightly frothy.
  2. Add salt and pepper to taste along with optional garlic powder and onion powder. Whisk again to distribute seasonings evenly.
  3. Break 2 sheets of matzo into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Warm for about 1 minute until hot but not smoking.
  5. Add matzo pieces to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until matzo is crisp and golden brown.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the toasted matzo. Let sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds until edges begin to set.
  7. Gently fold the eggs and matzo together every 15-20 seconds. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until eggs are soft and slightly runny but cooked through.
  8. In the last 30 seconds of cooking, sprinkle za’atar and fresh herbs over the scramble and stir gently to combine.
  9. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier scramble. Toast matzo before adding eggs for best texture. Cook on medium to medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs and burnt matzo. Gently fold eggs instead of stirring vigorously. Season gradually as matzo absorbs salt quickly. Variations include adding vegetables, spices, or using gluten-free matzo or sweet potato slices for gluten-free option.
