Passover‘s weeklong restrictions against eating leavened grains can be a bummer, particularly at breakfast. With cereal, toast, waffles, pancakes, bagels, scones, English muffins, croissants, and biscuits off the table, what’s left to eat? Quite a lot, it turns out. The recipes below take advantage of ingredients that are kosher for Passover—things like eggs, potatoes, fish, and vegetables—to create breakfast and brunch dishes so delicious, you won’t miss the bread. We’ve even worked in some of the leftovers you’ll have from the Seder table, like horseradish and parsley.
1. Asparagus Frittata with Horseradish Sour Cream
Chowhound
Fresh spring asparagus in an easy frittata (crustless, so quicker than a quiche, but just as rich and satisfying), this eggy delight has a piquant counterpoint in horseradish sour cream. Get our Asparagus Frittata with Horseradish Sour Cream recipe.
2. Smoked Salmon Hash with Lemon-Parsley Vinaigrette
Chowhound
You may not be able to eat the bagel, but the smoked salmon is still fair game. Paired with fresh parsley, lemon, and buttery potatoes, you won’t even miss the bread. Get our Smoked Salmon Hash with Lemon-Parsley Vinaigrette recipe.
3. Matzo Brei with Roasted Cherries
Chowhound
Matzo crack is amazing, but probably not optimal for breakfast. Enter: matzo brei, the classic egg-enriched dish of unleavened bread fried in butter. This version gets sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar and topped with lush and juicy roasted cherries flavored with vanilla and orange. Who needs Belgian waffles? Get our Matzo Brei with Roasted Cherries recipe.
4. Matzo Granola with Apricots and Pistachios

For a healthier breakfast, transform matzo into crisp granola, pump it up with dried fruit and chopped nuts, and scatter it atop yogurt. Get our Matzo Granola with Apricots and Pistachios recipe.
5. Healthy Quinoa Breakfast Porridge with Figs
Chowhound
