The Top 10 Passover Foods

  1. Matzah Ball Soup: A dumpling made from ground up matzah, eggs, and oil, then rolled into a ball and dropped into some chicken broth. 
  2. Charoset: Every Jewish ethnic community has their own special recipe. Ingredients often include: apples, red wine, walnuts, dates, figs, raisins, and cinnamon. 
  3. Gefilte Fish: A combination of carp and pike fish rolled into a ball of deliciousness. Usually eaten with horseradish. 
  4. Matzah Brei: Matzah, softened and stir fried with egg, and often eaten with cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version, or salt and pepper for a non-sweet version. 
  5. Matzah Kugel: Just like the real thing, only it uses kosher for Passover noodles and kosher for Passover bread crumbs. 
  6. Matzah (plain): Matzah is supposed to be “The Bread of Affliction,” but some people find it delicious by itself. 
  7. Matzah Pizza: Add some kosher for Passover spaghetti sauce and some cheese on top of a piece of Matzah, and voila! 
  8. Manischewitz Coffee Cake: Some say this coffee cake tastes better than “real” coffee cake. 
  9. Macaroons: Meringue-like cookie made with almonds and coconut. 
  10. Egg White “Bread” Rolls: We clever Jews figured out a way to make bread rise without yeast...egg whites!
