We also eat plain yogurt mixed with charoset and a bit of vanilla sugar. My kids have enjoyed kosher chocolate leben this year, and this morning I treated them with passover chocolate chip cookies crumbled into yogurt sweetened with vanilla sugar. Matzo brie is coming this weekend! In our house, the fastest Pesach breakfast is bananas + sour cream + matzo + butter. We also eat plain yogurt mixed with charoset and a bit of vanilla sugar.

I think the best breakfast for Passover is omlettes - with cheese or veggies, or spiced with a homemade salsa.

I like them with jam but I have been party to many heated arguments debating the merits of sweet vs savory Matzoh Breis.

You can buy farfel in the store (I think whole wheat is available too), and just cook it in milk or soymilk the same way you would oatmeal. Mix in walnuts, raisins, banana, maple syrup, apple...it's filling and warm. Matzo brie is also great - break matzah into pieces and put in a bowl. Cover matzah with boiling water until just saturated (no excess water). Add two eggs and a pinch of salt. Cook this mixture like an omelet until golden brown. Serve with jam or maple syrup.
