Easy Everyday Passover Recipes

Getty ImagesTired of boring old dry matzo? Here are five new quick and easy recipes to enjoy throughout the eight-day holiday of Passover.

We've got you covered for breakfast or brunch, lunch and dinner. We've even included a snack of salty and crunchy nut brittle that will be equally pleasing to kids and adults; plus, it can be made ahead and stored for a week.

Breakfast

Matzo Meal Pancakes recipe
These easily made breakfast or brunch pancakes also taste great with Charoset and maple syrup. Whole-wheat matzo meal makes them even more nutritious. The recipe is easily doubled. As a variation, omit the sugar and vanilla from the batter and you can serve these with smoked salmon and sour cream for a light lunch.

Lunch

Asparagus Frittata recipe
Eggs and green vegetables are symbolic of spring, and the addition of cottage cheese keeps this frittata creamy and tender. Feel free to substitute broccoli or Swiss chard for the asparagus.

Snack

Salty-Sweet Nut Brittle recipe
Sweet treats for Passover are always welcome and these addictive bites of crisp brittle are so easy to make. If you can't find mixed nuts without peanuts, substitute roasted salted almonds. Do-ahead option: The brittle can be made one week ahead and kept, at room temperature, in an airtight container.

Dinner

Moroccan-Style Chicken Thighs with Zucchini recipe
This recipe calls for canned, seasoned stewed tomatoes, which eliminates the need to chop onions and garlic and makes for a quick weeknight dinner. Play up its sweet spiciness with a side dish of mashed butternut squash.

Dessert

Orange-Chocolate Cupcakes recipe
Although these cupcakes will taste great when made ahead, they are extra-special when freshly made, as the chocolate is still creamy.
