9 Genius Ways To Cook (and Bake) Matzo During Passover
Toffee Crunch Cheesecake
For those celebrating the Passover holiday, it means eight days of not eating leavened foods (read: no bread, bagels, and a host of other grain-based items.). Matzo—a flat cracker—takes the place of bread, and after a few days, it’s quite a challenge to find creative ways to still enjoy it.
That’s where these nine easy matzo recipes come in. No more settling for plain matzo (although I do love it with butter and a drizzle of honey). With a little inspiration, you can enjoy matzo pizza, icebox cake, cheesecake or even matzo lasagna. Start scrolling to see the possibilities that await!
