Matzo, Lox, Eggs and Onions image

One morning during Passover, when I was eating matzo brei but dreaming about bagels and lox, it hit me. If I added smoked salmon to the matzo brei, I'd end up with a heartier twist on another Jewish staple: lox, eggs and onions.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 matzos
1 large red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
8 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces lox or smoked salmon, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill, more for garnish
Honey, for serving
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the matzos under a running faucet for about 15 seconds or until really wet. They should start to soften but not fall apart. Break them into rough 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Scatter the onion in a large dry skillet over high heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it turns dark golden brown on one side, then stir in the butter and a pinch of salt and cook until golden all over and dark brown in spots, about 3 to 5 minutes. If the butter starts to become too brown, lower the heat.
  • While the onion is frying, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Stir in the matzo pieces and let them soak.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low and add matzo-egg mixture to the onion. Cook, stirring, as you would with scrambled eggs. When the eggs are two-thirds of the way cooked, stir in the smoked salmon and dill. Serve immediately with a pool of honey and dollop of sour cream on the side.

Meh. It was okay. I've had better matzo brei.

Not a fan. The lox was too salty and the eggs were overcooked. I won't be making this again.

Simple and delicious! I've made this recipe many times and it always turns out great. The combination of salty lox, creamy eggs, and crunchy onions is perfect.

This recipe was a hit at my last brunch party! I made a few modifications to suit my taste, such as using smoked salmon instead of lox and adding a dollop of crème fraîche to each serving. The result was a delicious and elegant dish that everyone lov
