Matzo Sheets

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness.

Crush matzo sheets 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 (a breakfast scramble) or matzo ball soup.

Use whole sheets as a base for appetizers, topped with cream cheese, lox, or vegetables.

Break sheets into pieces for layering in casseroles or gratins.

Soups (especially chicken soup)

Cream cheese and smoked salmon

Deli meats and cheeses

Hummus and dips

Sweet toppings like honey, jam, or chocolate spread

Expecting matzo to be soft like a tortilla; it is meant to be crisp unless specifically softened.

Storing opened packages without an airtight seal, leading to a loss of crispness.

Using matzo as a direct substitute for softer breads in sandwiches without considering its texture.
