Creative matzo recipes that'll make your bread-free Passover 100% more bearable
You eat it for a week every year, and yet, by the end of Passover you are close to swearing it off for eternity.
Sure, matzo is the traditional bread of affliction for the Jewish people, and maybe it's not supposed to actually taste as good as bread, but a kosher diner can hope, right? If you're skipping out on leavened dough for Passover, buttered matzo, matzo brei and the infamous matzo pizza — marinara sauce and shredded cheese on a cracker do not a pizza pie make — no longer have to be your staples.
It's time to find some new, exciting things to do with your crumbly matzo. Savory stuffed pies, Mexican brunch dishes and homemade granola all may make this the year that you're actually eager to open a new box of matzo.
