Steps:
- Pass each matzo sheet under cool running water briefly, then crumble into a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract to form evenly moistened batter. Add more milk if batter is too dry.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop a generous spoonful of dough onto skillet and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on each side, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse matzo to a fine crumb (you should have 1 1/2 cups). Add salt, coconut oil, sugar, and water. Pulse to combine, then press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until light golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with your favorite kosher curd and meringue topping or chocolate ganache.
CLASSIC MATZO BREI
In this matzo brei (rhymes with fry) recipe, the matzo sheets are browned in butter until crisp before being lightly scrambled with eggs. You make this either sweet or savory as you prefer. Add black pepper, plenty of salt and chives for a savory version, or Demerara sugar and maple syrup or honey if you would like something sweeter. It's a fine breakfast or brunch any time of the year, and especially during Passover.

Steps:
- Under cool running water, rinse matzo sheets until they are quite wet. Set it aside and let sit to soften while you prepare the pan.
- Place a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once it melts and the foam subsides, break matzo sheets into bite-size pieces and add to pan. Sauté matzo in butter until it browns all over, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, salt and pepper (if you're making the dish savory) to pan and scramble the mixture until it is just set but still light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sugar (if you're making it sweet) and toss well.
- Serve matzo brei sprinkled with salt and topped with chives (savory), or with salt, additional sugar and maple syrup (sweet).

Steps:
- Peel and dice potato. Place in a medium pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to boil and cook until soft. Strain and pass potato through a food mill. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl mix mashed potato with 6 eggs, seasonings, and 4 ounces cheese.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat two eggs in a large bowl with milk and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Place warm salted water in a hotel pan or other container large enough to fit whole matzo board. Briefly soak each matzo in water. Dry each matzo and then dip into egg mixture. Heat a large sauté pan with olive oil. Sauté both sides of one matzo until golden brown. Repeat with remaining matzo. Leaving one piece of sautéed matzo in hot pan, place half of potato and cheese mixture on top, then place second piece of matzo over filling. Cover with remaining half of mixture. Place last matzo on top and sprinkle with 2 ounces of cheese. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or just until set. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality matzo. Fresh, crispy matzo will produce the best results.
- If your matzo is not fresh, you can refresh it by placing it in a warm oven for a few minutes.
- Make sure your butter is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help it incorporate evenly into the matzo crumbs.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Press the dough firmly into the pie plate. This will help prevent it from cracking.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it.
Conclusion:
Matzo pie crust is a delicious and versatile alternative to traditional pie crust. It is easy to make and can be used for both sweet and savory pies. Whether you are looking for a gluten-free option or simply want to try something new, matzo pie crust is a great choice.
