Matzah brei (sometimes spelled matzah brie or matzo brei) or fried matzo (Yidish:"מצה ברײַ"; Hebrew: "מצה ברייט matzah breit" or "מצה בריי" or "מצה מטוגנת matzah metugenet, lit: fried matzah" or "מצייה") is a dish of Ashkenazi Jewish origins made from matzo fried with eggs. The dish is commonly eaten during Passover, when only unleavened bread is permitted. However, some Haredi Jews do not eat matzah brei during (the first seven days of) Passover because they do not eat gebrochts, matzo that has come into contact with water. Many other Jews do not follow this custom.
