Passover Stuffed Waffle
During the seven days of Passover, Jews must make all of their baked goods with unleavened bread (matzo) to recall the Exodus from Egypt when there was no time to let bread rise. This matzo waffle is filled with traditional charoset, which serves as a reminder of slave labor and symbolizes the mortar used for Egyptian building. Charoset with bitter herbs (horseradish) is used to remember the cruelty of slavery.
