Matzo, Lox, Eggs and Onions
- 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
- 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.
