Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups hot water
• kosher salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided
• 2 (6 inch) matzo sheets
• 0.5 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick frying pan over low heat.

Step 2

Pour heated oil out of the frying pan; place 1/2 tablespoon butter into the hot pan.

Step 3

Place remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter into the hot pan.

Step 4

Pour hot water into a bowl. Break matzo sheets into small chunks and soak in hot water, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Whisk eggs and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt in a separate bowl. Strain matzo and shake to remove excess water; stir matzo into egg mixture.

Step 6

Pour matzo and egg mixture into hot butter; cover and cook until a pattie forms, about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Slide matzo pattie onto a plate.

Step 8

Place a second plate over matzo pattie and flip over, so the uncooked side is on the bottom.

Step 9

Slide matzo pattie into the pan with hot butter; cover and cook until the bottom is browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and season with kosher salt.
