CARAMELIZED ONION AND MUSHROOM MATZO BREI
This recipe is adapted from the restaurant Jane in downtown New York. There, the chef Glenn Harris offers a matzo brei two ways, but not, he will quickly tell you, because he likes it both ways. He only makes the savory kind, with deliciously glossy, nearly black, fried onions, as a concession to his partner in the restaurant, Jeff Lefcourt. Needless to say, Mr. Lefcourt's grandmother made hers savory.

CLASSIC MATZO BREI
In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It's a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Steps:
- Under cool running water, rinse matzo sheets until they are quite wet. Set it aside and let sit to soften while you prepare the pan.
- Place a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once it melts and the foam subsides, break matzo sheets into bite-size pieces and add to pan. Sauté matzo in butter until it browns all over, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, salt and pepper (if you're making the dish savory) to pan and scramble the mixture until it is just set but still light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sugar (if you're making it sweet) and toss well.
- Serve matzo brei sprinkled with salt and topped with chives (savory), or with salt, additional sugar and maple syrup (sweet).

A great variation of an old traditonal favorite. Suggestions: Cook the onions until they are fairly crisp and add a bit of lox to the skillet as you are frying the eggs and some dill toward the end for a perfectly fabulous dish. Decrease the salt if you add lox.

Tips:
- To make your matzo brei extra crispy, cook it low and slow. This will allow the matzo to soak up all of the egg mixture and become nice and crispy.
- If you want your matzo brei to be more fluffy, beat the eggs and milk together until they are light and airy. This will create a more delicate texture.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to your matzo brei. Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, and meat. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
Conclusion:
Matzo brei is a quick and easy breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for using up leftover matzo. It is a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you have some leftover matzo, don't throw it away! Make matzo brei instead.
