On the surface, matzo brei is simply scrambled eggs with matzo pieces inside. But in the case of matzo brei, the whole is better than the sum of its parts. Matzo brei is so easy-to-make and tasty that it has become a Passover staple. My kids love matzo brei so much that they ask for it all year round.
