Matzo Crackers

Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness. They are very shelf-stable.

Crush matzo into fine crumbs to use as a binder in meatballs or as a coating for fried foods.

Soak matzo in water or broth to soften it for dishes like matzo brei (scrambled matzo and eggs).

Serve with dips like hummus or as a base for canapés.

Break into pieces and add to soups for texture.

Trying to make matzo at home without very high heat and very short baking times, which can result in tough, chewy crackers.

Storing matzo in a non-airtight container, leading to loss of crispness.
