MATZO PUDDING OR KUGEL
This version of matzo pudding or kugel is always on our Seder table. It is sweet without being dessert-like and goes really well with chicken or brisket.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a small (casserole with butter or margarine and set aside.
- Warm the juice (I microwave 30 seconds on high) in the small bowl. Add the raisins and set aside. (To add extra color, I often mix yellow and dark raisins.) The raisins soak up some of the juice and get plumper and soft. After that happens, drain the excess juice.
- Soak the matzo pieces in the bowl with a few cups of water for a few minutes until just soft, but not disintegrated. Drain well, pressing the matzohs with your hand so most of the water drains out.
- Add the sugar and cinnamon, grated lemon peel, and eggs. Mix well, but not too roughly. The matzo may break up more and the resulting mixture has matzoh pieces of varying sizes.
- Add the apple pieces and raisins and mix again, gently incorporating the fruit. I haven't specified the type of apples because I make this with all types, often mixed. Use whatever type you prefer, or follow my lead and use an assortment.
- Pour the mixture into the casserole and dot with butter or margarine. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top of the casserole is browned and crisp. (If the top isn't browning, turn the heat up during the last 5 minutes or so to 375 degrees.) Serve hot.

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).
