Mushroom Matzo Kugel is a classic recipe that is commonly served during Passover. It is a delectable variation of the classic kugel recipe, with savory flavors from the mushrooms and onions instead of the traditional sweet raisins. The matzo, or unleavened flatbread, is soaked in chicken broth to give it a tender texture and absorb all of the delicious flavors of the dish. This dish is perfect for serving as a side dish or main course during the Passover Seder.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3.Heat chicken broth in a small saucepan and pour over the matzo pieces in a large bowl, stirring to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cook until onions are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
5.Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes until tender.
6.Add the mushroom mixture to the matzo mixture, along with chopped parsley, eggs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
7.Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
8.Bake for 35-40 minutes, until set and golden brown on top.
