Passover is coming - Post your favorite Kosher for Pesach recipes!

matzo bri is my absolute favorite part of Passover! I LOVE IT!!!!!! my DH (who is Catholic) keeps asking when I'm going to make some.

I make it the sweet way, and I know there are 1000's of ways to make it!

1/2 a box of matzo (I only buy Streits) crushed
let it soak in water until it softens, then strain out the water
1 egg
cinnamon (to taste)
sugar (to taste)
raisins (and lots of them!)

mix it all up in a bowl. I use a 12' frying so I can make several at a time. I spray it with cooking spray. I use a large metal spoon to gauge the size of the patties.

I usually eat them with apple sauce but like them with strawberry jam too!

Take out matzah.
Put on plate.
Spread cream cheese.
Spread Jelly.
VOILA - CREAM CHEESE AND JELLY!

that's because you haven't tried my matzo bri!

Now this may be a very innappropriate thing to be public about but the people in our culture are typically known for having sensitive digestive issues. Tell me, what cruel joke G-d is playing on us by making us eat cardboard for 8 days? Wasn't slavery in Egypt enough?

Sounds delish!!!! I usually pour a ton of sugar on top... although lately I can't tolerate too much sugar, so I've cut alot of it out.

Dina - how long did you live in Israel? I was there about 13 years ago, loved it so much and so wanted to go live there for a year or two. I hope to go back one day.

I make it almost the same way, except I use two eggs, and put salt and pepper on it... my favorite part of Passover too

Also, I make sweet potatoes. Basically, I just boil as many as I need, mash them with butter and suger or honey, and bake (sometimes with marshmellos on the top).
