PASSOVER IS HERE AND THAT MEANS MATZOH is readily available in stores. During Passover, those who celebrate cannot eat leavened bread. Matzoh (matzo, matzah, matza) is an unleavened flatbread that is part of Jewish cuisine, made with flour, water, salt and maybe a little olive oil. The matzoh you find in stores is crispy, like oversized crackers. Here are two of our favorite ways to use it.
Matzoh brei (rhymes with eye) is delicious for breakfast. It’s one of those classic dishes that began as a Passover staple, something simple, quick, tasty and filling to have at a time when you can’t eat leavened bread. Essentially, it is sheets of matzoh soaked in water, then mixed with beaten eggs and sautéed. Pictured above, matzoh brei can be topped it with jams, syrup or powdered sugar for a sweet finish, or you can go savory, with melty cheese and even salsa. You’ll find the recipe here.
Matzoh crack is a perfect name for this wonderful dessert. Some more polite recipes call it matzoh crunch, but this sweet, salty, crunchy treat is definitely addictive. And we didn’t dub it matzoh crack. In fact, search both terms and you’ll see the crack version outnumbers crunch almost 10 to 1. You’ll find the recipe here.
