Rinse 2 boards of matzo under warm water for 20 seconds on each side.

Let the rinsed matzo rest on a plate.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, heating for about 3 minutes.

Dice a sweet onion and add it to the skillet, sautéing for about 10 minutes until browned.

Break the soaked matzo into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

In a bowl, crack 4 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; whisk until light and airy.

Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Add the crumbled matzo to the skillet and sauté with the onions for about 2 minutes until slightly toasted.

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the matzo.

Add chopped chives to the mixture, reserving some for topping.

Stir gently with a silicone spatula for about 30 to 45 seconds until combined, then remove from heat.
