These may vary depending on Sephardic vs Ashkenaz (sp) differences but here are my favorite matza meals.
Matza Pizza: 1 Matza Spread Tomato sauce/paste (forget which one works better) over matza Add cooked ground beef OR cheese (never both) Add anything else you'd want Sprinkle garlic salt over all Nuke
Chicken spread: Take cooked/baked chicken. Mash chicken Add varying amounts of mayo by taste Mix and Mash Spread over matza. Add anything else you'd want Enjoy
Tuna spread: Do everything above but with Tuna.
Top off your meal with a nice little bit of chocolate covered matza. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
It's either/or sorry.

OH! That makes much more sense -- and looks fairly similar to recipes I use.
Have a happy (and yummy) Pesach!

Same goes for you and everyone else! We're off to a friends house for the Seder.

Just sunk in that the pizza experience is very different for Jews.
Though I've had a my fair share of excellent vegetarian pizzas.

Turkey pepperoni isn't so bad... Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Thought it had to be soy pepperoni. (Except not on Passover, of course.) (Unless you use soy cheese, I guess... My point is, there's all-beef pepperoni.)

A very non-observant young lady that I spent way too much time with one summer (Long enough ago that I was too young to know better.) enjoyed ordering "kosher pizza" just to watch the consternation on the part of the baker. She would make a big fuss if refused. She usually got anchovies.

Meat + Dairy = Pepperoni + Cheese
Right?
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Beef + Dairy to be more exact. You are eating the animal and its life-giving milk at the same time.
I have enjoyed a good ham and matzah sandwich with plenty of mayo. I'm still waiting for the lightening to strike because its good.

That is why they make mushroom pizza. Now that is good stuff. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yeah, PC, that's what the problem with a kosher pepperoni pizza would be-- either the cheese or the pepperoni has to be a substitute, most likely soy.
Turkey pepperoni isn't the only pepperoni that could be kosher, by a long shot. Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
I suppose the Pork in the pepperoni doesn't help.
I would have these kinds of questions on the eve of Passover. Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :

I grew up in Massapequa Park, NY. Although I most certainly never heard the nickname growing up, I read in a guidebook long after moving away that Massapequa is known as Matza Pizza for its heavy Jewish/Italian population.
(I suspect the writer just thought he/she was being clever.)

That's interesting though!

False. Any meat + any dairy.

No lightning. You're not Jewish -- why shouldn't you eat it? (And if you're eating it, I hope it's because you enjoy it!)

The REAL Matzah Pizza
Put 3 cups of matzah farfel in a big bowl. Pour 3 cups of boiling water over it, then drain it out in a collender. Beat together 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites. Mix the eggs in with the wet matzah farfel and dose the whole thing with some salt and pepper.
Pour the whole mess into a well-greased pizza pan, and bake at 350 for a half hour or until set.
Take the crust out from the oven, loosen it from the pan with a spatula (but don't take it out of the pan). Spread tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella, Parmesan, and mushrooms, peppers, onions, or whatever you like on top of your pizza. Turn up the oven to 450, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly and everything looks right.
Now you have a pizza that you can cut into pizza-style wedges, with a chewy and flexible crust.
It's the miracle of Pesach!

But Matzah Brei is even better. With lots of browned onions. My husband wants his with either salsa or with tomato sauce and cheese (Matzah Brei Parmesan!)
He grew up eating his matzah brei with jelly on it. I quickly introduced him to the right way to eat matzah brei. (onions!)
<-- me chopping the onions for the matzah brei
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Pfft. The right way to eat matza brei (prepared with a bit of sugar, and NO salt) is with jelly and butter.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Rivka, I respect you highly, and feel that in general you have fine judgement, but in this instance you are just wrong.
People who have a long tradition of the jelly-on-brei thing have been instant converts to the right way to enjoy matzah brei once they have partaken of the real thing.
Come on by and I'll whip you up a batch.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I have had savory matza brei (with onions, mushrooms, and cheese, IIRC). It was ok.
But it had nothing on the real stuff.
