Crack 2 eggs into the bowl with the matzo and mix together.

Add kosher salt to the egg and matzo mixture and mix well.

Pour the matzo mixture into the skillet, spreading it out to form a circle.

Cook until the edges start to get crispy and the mixture holds together, about 3-4 minutes.

Cut the matzo brei into wedges and serve with a dollop of strawberry jam.
