Savory Matzo Brei - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons unsalted margarine
    2 large onions, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 pounds)
    1 lb white mushroom, chopped medium fine
    1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
    1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
    1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 teaspoon coarse salt (to taste)
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)
    8 large eggs
    8 plain matzos
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 250\u00b0F.
    Put a kettle of water (about 3 1/2 quarts) on high heat to boil.
    Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon margarine in a 12-inch skillet on low heat.
    Add onions, and saute over medium-high heat until soft and golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 15 minutes.
    Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
    Add rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
    Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
    Break eggs into a large bowl, and beat lightly.
    Add mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine.
    Make batter:
    Break matzos into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces directly into a colander, and pour the boiling water over them.
    Let matzo stand until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes, and add to the mushroom-egg mixture, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
    Let stand for 5 minutes.
    Melt remaining tablespoon margarine in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
    Pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan to form a 3-inch pancake, lightly pressing with a spatula to make pancake even.
    Repeat, cooking 3 pancakes per batch.
    Cook pancakes until nicely browned, about 2 minutes.
    Turn and cook the other side about 2 minutes more.
    Transfer to oven to keep warm and repeat process until all the batter is used up, making about 28 pancakes.
    Serve immediately.
