Matzoh brei,

in honor of New Year and Chelsea Clinton's baby:

ingredients
4 matzos
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
preparation

Crumble matzos into a large sieve placed over a bowl to catch crumbs, then hold sieve under running cold water until matzos are moist and softened but not completely disintegrated, about 15 seconds. Transfer to bowl with crumbs, then add eggs and salt and mix gently with a fork.

Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add matzo mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are scrambled and matzo has begun to crisp, about 3 minutes.

As in "My Son the Folksinger"

Mama's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Mama's little baby loves matzoh balls
Mama's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Lots and lots of matzoh balls!

Put on de skillet, put on de led
Mama's gonna make a little Pesach bread
And that's not all she's gonna do
She's gonna make a little chicken soup

Mama's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Mama's little baby loves matzoh balls
Mama's little baby loves matzoh, matzoh
Lots and lots of matzoh balls!

brings back memories!

My Jewish husband used to make that and my kids loved it. Me, not so much but I wasn't raised with it.
