Break the matzo into 1 inch pieces (they don’t have to be even or the same size as one another) and place in a bowl.
Cover the matzo with hot water for 1-2 minutes or until softened.
Drain and squeeze out excess water.
Place the eggs, milk and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the eggs over the drained matzo and mix together.
Heat the butter or oil in a saute pan over medium heat.
Add the egg/matzo mixture to the pan and cook, stirring with a spoon or spatula for 2-3 minutes until eggs are cooked through.
Feel free to make it a sweet dish by adding shredded apples, cinnamon or maple syrup or, you can make it more savory by adding any leftover meat and veggies you may have in the fridge..
