Soften the matzo: Soften the matzo a little by running them under cold water for a minute or so. The longer you wet them down, the softer they will be; it's your choice.

Break up matzo and stir with beaten eggs and caramelized onions: Beat the eggs with a little salt and black pepper in a large bowl.  Break the matzo up into pieces of about 1/2 to 1 inch into the bowl with the eggs. Stir in the caramelized onions and mix well.
