Matzo brei is a traditional Jewish breakfast dish made with matzo and scrambled eggs that everyone looks forward to eating during Passover. It's so comforting — it's great anytime! Use flavored matzo or add sautéed onion if you like, or serve with sugar, cinnamon, and applesauce for a sweet version.
