Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon and salt.

Break apart the matzo into bite-sized pieces, add to the egg mixture, and stir to coat.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the matzo mixture to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Add the apples and walnuts and cook for another 2 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Soak Matzo Strategically 💧
Dip matzo briefly in milk for just 2-3 seconds per side to keep it firm and prevent mushiness; over-soaking will create a soggy texture that falls apart during cooking.
Toast Walnuts First 🌰
Lightly toast walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to release their oils and intensify their nutty flavor, creating superior depth compared to raw nuts.
Dice Apples Just Before Cooking 🍎
Cut apples immediately before assembly to prevent oxidation and browning; toss them in lemon juice if prepping ahead to maintain their bright color and crisp texture.
Medium Heat is Essential 🔥
Use medium (not high) heat to allow the egg custard to cook gently and evenly while the matzo crisps on the outside; high heat will burn the bottom before the interior sets.
Cinnamon Blooming Technique ✨
Mix cinnamon directly into the egg mixture rather than sprinkling it on top to ensure even distribution and allow the spice to fully bloom throughout the dish for consistent flavor in every bite.
