Just three ingredients and a little time turn plain old matzos into… Everything but the Bagel Matzo Crackers! Enjoy!
Hey all! So I saw this savory matzo crackers idea in the April issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine, of all places. In today’s easy three ingredient recipe for the Passover season, I took their original “egg-white-plus-za’atar” idea and turned it into an “everything-but-the-bagel-plus-a-whole-egg-because-who-wants-to-separate-that” idea, in these Everything but the Bagel Matzo Crackers.
Why matzo crackers this weekend in particular? Well, this week I picked up a huge 5 lb box of matzos at my neighborhood grocery store for just $1.99 — because, ’tis the season! Check out their new box design and fancy non-GMO labeling this year — but inside, it’s the same as it ever was.
My box came with a free Maxwell House Haggadah, which I was secretly hoping would be the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel limited edition they’re giving away with certain Maxwell House coffees on Amazon right now. Alas, however, this was not to be. (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is such a great show, though: I highly recommend it, and am anxiously awaiting season 3!)
To console myself for the lack of a limited edition Haggadah, I may have just eaten a few too many of these (garlicky salty good) everything but the bagel matzo crackers. Give them a try, if you are looking for a different way to enjoy your own big box of matzos this year.
Everything but the Bagel Matzo Crackers
Ingredients
Three squares of plain matzos
1 egg
2 tsp Everything but the Bagel seasoning
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat egg in a small bowl with 1 tsp water to thin it out a little.
Carefully break matzos into several large pieces so that it all fits nicely on one cookie sheet, then brush each piece with egg wash.
Sprinkle matzos evenly with everything but the bagel seasoning, then bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes or until they smell great and the egg has dried.
Let cool a bit, then break into pieces and enjoy!
Note: You’ll end up with plenty of extra egg, if you want to double this or make a second batch. You can pick up everything but the bagel seasoning at Trader Joe’s, some Costco stores, or online.
Everything Matzo Crackers are strangely addictive
These crackers are still going to be on the dry side, because, let’s face it: You’re just jazzing up matzo here. It’s not a magical recipe, but it’s still a fun way to add some salty & garlicky zip to your matzos. Dry or not, though: Everything but the bagel matzo crackers are also quite tasty, and a nice cracker to use for scooping up hummus or other dips.
Need another way to enjoy matzo this year?
So five pounds is an awful lot of matzos, and if you’re looking for additional ideas… might I humbly recommend this Matzo Crack? 🙂
