8 Matzo Recipes That Will Add Some Spark to Your Seder — Brisket Bruschetta, Anyone?
The holiday of Passover is upon us and it's time to spice up those dull traditional recipes — even if they only grace the table once a year. Matzo — a thin, crisp unleavened bread — is one of those ingredients that has a lot of potential, but sometimes ends up taking the passenger's seat to the other dishes on your Seder table. Check out these eight recipes, some traditional and others a little more unexpected, that will have matzo rivaling lamb and brisket dishes for Seder supremacy.
