6 Out-of-the-Box Ways to Use Matzo

It’s just not Passover without thin, crispy matzo—and the inevitable question: what to do with the leftovers? While matzo ball soup is always a comforting option (like our classic Manhattan deli-style recipe below), airy squares of matzo are great in all kinds of sweet and savory dishes. From appetizers to desserts, breakfast to dinner, versatile matzo can do it all.

Check out these quick and easy recipes to make the most of your matzo.

Smoked Salmon and Matzo Appetizer 
This bagel-and-lox-inspired bite can be enjoyed before the Passover Seder or anytime. Matzo topped with cream cheese, salmon, radish, and fresh parsley makes a beautiful addition to any appetizer spread.

Matzo Veggie Lasagna 
Sheets of matzo replace noodles in this plant-powered play on lasagna. Frozen spinach adds nutritional bulk to layers of creamy ricotta, tomatoes, and melty mozzarella.

Individual Sweet Matzo Kugels 
This sweet spin on traditional kugel is perfectly portioned in ramekins. Apples, cinnamon, and crunchy walnuts baked together with matzo and egg works as side dish, breakfast, or dessert.

Fennel and Orange Salad with Matzo Croutons 
This eye-catching salad brings a pop of color to the Seder spread or any meal. Earthy beets, sweet fennel, and tangy citrus are irresistible topped with crunchy pieces of garlic-toasted matzo.

Matzo Brei with Herbs 
The classic combo known as matzo brei—scrambled eggs with leftover matzo—is comfort food at its finest. We’ve turned up the flavor volume by adding shallot, fresh dill, and chives.

Matzo Ball Soup 
A warming bowl good for the soul just like Bubbeh (aka Grandma) used to make. Our light and airy matzo balls get their flavor from using roasted chicken wings as the base for the homemade slow cooker broth.
