Savory Matzah Brei

1. 1

   Crush the sheets of matzah into tiny pieces into a bowl and add 3 1/2 to 4 cups boiling water. Mix thoroughly and allow the water to soak and soften the matzah.

2. 2

   In a frying pan, fry the onions in 2 tablespoons of oil until they're all translucent and beginning to brown. Add to the matzah.

3. 3

   Mix in the eggs, black pepper and salt, until all the ingredients are completely incorporated.

4. 4

   Add a touch of oil to the frying pan and pour half the mixture into the pan. Flatten into a large pancake and cover.

5. 5

   Cook on a medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes or until it gets crispy. Flip and cook another 5 to 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Repeat with the second half of the mixture.

7. 7

   Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche, or for a bit of sweetness, a bowl of applesauce.
