Philly Cheese Open Faced Sandwich



This is like a cross between a Philly Cheese and a French Dip. It could be made better with the addition of a thin layer of horseradish spread on the matzo brie before adding the onions, meat and cheese. Also, sauteed mushrooms would be a great addition.

And of course, this is only kosher for Passover if you a) are willing to eat moistened matzo, which some people avoid, and b) you either don't keep kosher otherwise (I only observe Passover for the tradition, not for the religious aspect, really) or you forgo the cheese, since meat and dairy together is a no-no.

Zucchini Latkes




After a friend of mine online posted pictures of her zucchini pasta, I had a craving for fried zucchini.  Instead of starting up my deep fryer, I opted to adapt my latke recipe to make these delicious zucchini pancakes.  The result is a crispy creamy pancake that will have people requesting this recipe often.

Remember to peel the zucchini to get rid of the yeast!

Chocolate Covered Salted Toffee Almond Matzo


I was looking for matzo cookie recipes and came across this recipe from about.com and adapted it to create a super delicious treat.  I'm even posting it early to give you a chance to make it before Passover is over, because it is really amazing.  It tastes very much like a Skor bar, which is one of my favorite candies ever. It is relatively easy to make and I hope you will!

Matzo Brie



It's Passover and that means there is a bounty of yeast-free products to be bought.  Passover lasts for a week, so after it is over, you can buy discounted Matzo (a big cracker made of just flour and water) and use it throughout the rest of the year (as long as it lasts) to make all sorts of safe goodies including thin-crust pizzas, stuffing, and Matzo brie, which is the Passover equivalence of French toast, only it can be made sweet or savory, and it is one of my favorite applications for Matzo. 

Although the pancake shape of this is easier, as pictured, it can also be agitated like scrambled eggs for a loose brie (pronounced so it rhymes with try).
