You’ve never tasted ‘brei so good.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp whole milk
  • 2 sheets matzah
  • 1 Tbsp butter or margarine
  • ½ cup Pecorino Romano, finely grated
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl with 1 Tbsp milk, and whisk until beaten. Crumble 2 sheets of matzah into the egg mixture, and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes, until soft.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp butter or margarine in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour the matzah-egg mixture into the pan, and while the eggs are still loose, sprinkle in ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano and ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper. Cook until the eggs are just set, 1-2 minutes, and season with ⅛ tsp kosher salt. Serve immediately.
