Since I ran out of matza meal by the time yom tov started, thanks to all of the cake and kugel making that’s been done, I’m committed to using only what I have on hand. That means being a little more creative about what to make for some of the chol hamoed meals. This recipe for pizza fills the bill since it uses matza farfel instead of matza meal, and I still have three boxes left of that. This will be for chol hamoed lunch tomorrow.
Pizza Pie
- 3 c. matza farfel
- 2 1/2 c. boiling water
- 5 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz shredded cheese
- 1 can seasoned tomato sauce (I use tomato paste, thin it with water, and season it myself)
To make the crust, pour the boiling water over the farfel to soften. Drain well. Beat eggs with salt and pepper, and mix with drained farfel. Cover a large pan with this mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then remove crust from oven and cover it with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 – 8 minutes.
