What do you make during Passover when you feel like eating french toast? You make fried matzo! I’m super excited to share our family recipe with you.
I’ve seen several ways that people make fried matzo, and I can tell you that this one will be different from most traditional recipes. I’ve seen some soak the matzo in water first. I’ve seen some break the matzo into many pieces. I’ve seen it look super eggy. This is none of those things.
Just imagine all of the flavors of french toast, but crispier. That’s our family’s version of fried matzo.
Can I use any type of butter?
The thing about making any recipe that is Kosher for Passover is that you have to be sure that all of the ingredients you are using are also Kosher for Passover. Google says to use margarine, but I was able to find out that Breakstone’s butter is, in fact, Kosher for Passover! If you are unable to find it, you can also use margarine.
What is the best type of matzo to buy?
I prefer egg matzo, but you can use any type that you can find in the stores.
Do I have to put it in the oven?
You don’t, but if I’m cooking fried matzo for the entire family and we want to eat together, it’s best to keep them warm in the oven at 200º. If you plan to serve it as each piece of matzo is finished, you can skip that step.
Is this definitely Kosher for Passover?
Our family was never super strict. We weren’t the family that cleaned out all the bread (we just didn’t eat it). As far as I know, all of the ingredients are kosher for Passover. If in doubt, do your research first. It never hurts to double-check!
Now that I’ve hopefully answered all of your questions about this Kosher for Passover chocolate chip cookies let’s talk about the ingredients and the recipe!

Now let’s get to the recipe!
I’ve tried to show the steps in the photos above for you to make it a bit easier to make fried matzo.
Crack two eggs into a container big enough to hold a piece of matzo.
Whisk the eggs.
Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet at medium heat. Preheat the oven to 200º.
Break one piece of matzo into two parts and dip it into the egg on both sides.
Place in the heated pan.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg (optional).
Immediately turn the matzo onto the other side and sprinkle with more cinnamon and nutmeg. Allow it to cook for 1 minute on each side.
Place a lined cookie sheet into the oven and place each piece of fried matzo on the cookie sheet while you make the rest. This will keep them all warm.

This looks so so good and very easy to make. I had no idea that you can fry matzo…yummm…
Fried Matzo looks delicious! I’ll have to try this recipe soon.
Interesting recipe, it actually sounds better than soggy french toast! I must try this soon!
Well, those look delicious! I love that thin, crispy matzo coated in the French toast mix. Yummo!
This is great for leftover matzo crackers. I always have plenty in my pantry.
I’ve never heard of Matzo. But I do enjoy some French toast so I’m sure this would hit the spot too. I’ll have to give it a try.
One word… Yummilicious!!
