Method
- 01Break the matzah into bite-sized pieces. Rinse briefly under cold water, then drain well. The pieces should bend slightly without becoming a paste.
- 02Beat the eggs with two tablespoons of water and the salt. Fold in the drained matzah and leave for two minutes.
- 03Heat the oil in a wide non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the mixture and spread it out. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the underside begins to crisp.
- 04Turn in sections and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the egg is set throughout. Keep a few crisp edges rather than stirring continuously.
- 05For a sweet plate, finish with cinnamon sugar. For a savoury plate, add chopped chives and black pepper. Serve immediately.
