Step 1
Run matzo under a tap of running water for 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a large bowl or casserole dish with cold water and submerge the matzo crackers in it for 20-30 seconds (if using gluten-free matzo, 20 seconds are enough).
Step 2
Break matzo into small pieces or about 1-2 inches. Transfer to a large bowl or casserole dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Add milk, salt and pepper, and mustard/ paprika (if using), and mix well to combine.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture on top of the matzo pieces. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Set a skillet to medium-high heat. Melt butter, Earth Balance, or olive oil.
Step 6
OPTIONAL: If using onions, mushrooms, or any other mix-ins, add them to the skillet first and fry for 10 minutes, until the onions change colour (if using spinach, do not add it yet).
Step 7
Add matzos and egg mixture to the pan, and mix well. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are set, about 2-3 minutes (if using spinach, add along with egg mixture).
Step 8
Taste and correct seasonings, topping with more salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve matzo brei with your favorite toppings, like sour cream or apple sauce.
