The Passover holiday is quickly approaching…more quickly than I realized! Because it falls out earlier in the season this year, I am hussling to prepare my house, shopping for non-chametz foods and of course, adding some tasty recipes to my repertoire. It is tough to stem away from bland matzah, matzah, matzah and more matzah. This is a tasty twist on the matzo flavor.

I found this recipe two years ago on Joyofkosher.com. I have made it twice already. It is sooo good. I am making it again this year. My husband and I really liked it. It tastes just like macaroni and cheese. This recipe gets 5 stars from me.
Any idea of the definition of brei?
Origin of Matzah brei?
Oh wow! This was amazing! I used a combination of cheddar, mozzarella and Philadelphia cream cheese (didn’t have Temp Tee) and it tasted nothing like mac and cheese, but like a cheese tart or something like that. If you are a cheese lover like me you will love it!
Made this for Passover last year. My kids are already requesting it again. They LOVED it, ate it almosr every day. (I made a few pans). GREAT kid friendly recipe…and much less whining about “nothing good to eat for Pesach”.
intriguing…..recipe for kid friendly foods are so hard to find….have to try the mac’n’cheese.
more please!
The receipes look really tasty! I’ll try some of these for Pesach.
