Hot for Passover, What You Can Do to Make Matzo Better!

Matzoh

Sliced Turkey

BBQ Sauce

Apple

Your Favorite Cheese

or Cheese Substitute If You're Kosher

For me, the worst thing about passover is the lack of bread.  I love a good sandwich, and giving that up for eight days is bad news.  Also, what does one do with matzo?  Sure, you can make matzo brei, but that's about where it ends.  Matzo with butter?  Please.

So I decided to take things into my own hands.  Sandwich?  Check.  Matzo good?  Check.  The only equipment you need is a knife and a (toaster) oven.

Start by layering sliced turkey on the matzo.  You'll want the layer to be two or three slices, depending on how thick the turkey is cut.  Next, cover the turkey with a bit of BBQ sauce.  Slice an apple as thin as you can, and cover the BBQ sauce with the slices.  (TIP: to make slicing easier, cut a quarter of the apple, place the flat end down, then slice!)  Finally, add a layer of your favorite cheese, muenster ranked best in our experiment.

Keeping kosher?  You can try a soy cheese on top, though I'm not sure how well it melts.  Another alternative is to use dairy free cream cheese.  Spread that atop the turkey, before the BBQ sauce.  Cook until everything is warm, about 4 minutes.  Remove and top with lettuce.  Strange as it may seem, my favorite option for kosher eating is...vegetarian!  I know.  Crazy.  Simply replace the turkey with roasted red peppers, and continue as instructed below.

Place the loaded matzo in a hot oven.  Remove when cheese turns a golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.  Passover is now better, because you have a hot sandwich.
