  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, break the matzoh into 2-inch pieces and place in a colander in the sink. When the water is ready, brie, or scald, the matzoh by pouring the water over them.
  • Place the eggs in a large bowl, season with the salt and pepper, and beat until broken up. Add the scalded matzoth and stir to evenly combine.
  • Heat the butter or oil in a large non-stick frying pan over low heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Pour in the egg mixture and cook undisturbed until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. To flip, place a large plate over the matza brie and invert onto the plate. Slide back into the pan and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Serve hot, on a hot platter, as a large family-size pancake, with sugar that has been mixed with a dash of cinnamon, or with honey, if desired.
