Gleist Matzos

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup very, very finely chopped onion, almost grated (use a food processor)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 4 squares plain unsalted matzo
• Corn oil

Directions

Place onion, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, and beat until the eggs are frothy.

Lay out 4 squares of paper towel on your counter. One at a time, run the matzos under cold water for about 15 seconds on each side (if you break a square, discard it, and start again), and place them side by side on the paper toweling.

Carefully place a matzo square in a shallow dish with sides at least 1 inch high. Spread 1/4 of the onion-egg mixtures on top of it. Pile the other matzos on top, spreading each square with 1/4 of the onion-egg mixtures. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet. Fry the matzos, one at a time, until well browned on each side. Drain on paper towels.
