Author Notes
This version of matzah brie adds multi-dimensional flavor raising it several notches (Please note: This recipe was made with round hand matzos which have a smoky charred flavor so they need a lot of black pepper, however if using square machine made matzah please adjust seasoning and soaking time to half.) —Hadassah Mordechai
