We Jews eat matzah to remind us that our ancestors were slaves in Egypt. We make it into pizza because we're Americans now, and slave food sucks.

Matzah pizza sucks marginally less than matzah alone, so here's a recipe for my observant readers.

Ingredients:

• 1 piece matzah
  
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce (homemade or from a jar, but the latter may not be strictly kosher for Passover)
  
• 2-3 oz. fresh mozzarella
  
• 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  
• salt and pepper
  

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place it in a preheated 500-degree oven.

Spread the tomato sauce over the matzah, leaving the edges dry. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and scatter them over the sauce. Place the basil on top of the cheese. Drizzle the pizza with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Place the matzah pizza on the heated baking sheet and quickly close the oven door. Remove the entire baking sheet when the cheese begins to brown and bubble, or in approximately 8-10 minutes.

The tomato sauce will have softened the center of the matzah, so be careful when transfering to a serving plate. Also be careful when eating: a fork and knife may be necessary.
