Transform your Passover breakfast or brunch with this comforting and protein-packed Passover Matzah Matzo Omelette. Combining lightly softened matzah pieces with fluffy, seasoned eggs, this dish strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and satisfaction. The matzah absorbs just enough liquid to create a soft, tender texture, while the golden-brown exterior boasts a delightful crispness. Quick to prepare in just 15 minutes, this skillet-cooked recipe uses pantry staples like eggs, milk (or water), and butter, making it ideal for busy holiday mornings. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness or enjoy it as-is for a traditional, no-fuss Passover treat. Perfectly kosher for Passover, this recipe is a must-try addition to your holiday table.
Break the matzah sheets into smaller bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches wide) and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Run warm tap water over the matzah pieces and let them soak for about 30 seconds. Drain immediately to prevent over-soaking, which can make them too soggy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or water), salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Gently fold the soaked matzah pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the matzah and egg mixture into the skillet. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, but avoid pressing it down too hard.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until the bottom is golden brown and the mixture begins to set.
Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula or by cutting it in halves for easier flipping. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully set and golden on both sides.
Transfer the omelette to a serving plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
