1. One of my favorite childhood snacks

Didn't watch video, but I know you just briefly wet matzo with water, dip it in beaten egg, fry in oil, then salt. Period! Easy and so delicious. No need to add anything else. Eaten as a room temp snack.

5. Thanks for the suggestion, onion matzo.

Had thought of looking for egg matzo; may do some experiments, but just returned from shopping so prolly not too soon.

Thinking of Dad and maple syrup, so tho onion matzo sounds interesting, not sure it goes well with maple syrup!

6. I'd use the plain for sweet renditions

Onion works for the savory version, the room temp snack I enjoyed so much. Or, plain with some onion powder added to the beaten egg.

I've got a few boxes of matzo and some recently acquired eggs that will likely be meeting soon. Thanks for the reminder.

4. Salt and pepper

I will not use sugar and cinnamon on scrambled eggs nor fried ones so not here.

Arrange the pieces in one layer on a skillet and let the bottom fry then flip and fry on the other side.

7. No one ever showed me how to make this stuff

I eat matzo year round and like to add it to eggs. I don't soak the matzo in water, just dump some pieces in the scrambled eggs, let them sit for a minute ot two and then into a non stick pan. The way the guy in the video is cooking them, way too much oil and he is badly overcooking the eggs, which makes them taste like shit. You should NEVER let the eggs brown, it changes the chemistry and flavor. I looked online to see if his is the common recipe, don't know, but I did find a variation that I'm going to try. This person sautéed some onions with a little butter I think and then adds the egg and matzo mixture and made the eggs like normal.

The guy is right about one thing, olive oil is not good for sautéing, but I use sunflower oil, which has a high burn point and costs a lot less than avocado or almond oil. It's predominantly omega 9s, so you avoid the 6s.
