Sounds yummy! I don't have a chalavi oven so I'd have to double wrap it. Anyone want to try it first???

Thanks for posting but I wanted to share my experience:

I made this on Friday but wasn't happy with the results.

After I put it together, I realized the 1 lb of matzah was too much so I used 1/2 of the dough for a separate matzah kugel and added sauteed onions. That came out great. I spread the remaining 1/2 of the dough in a 9x13 pan and baked it but it was still too thick and tasted like kugel. My sauce and cheese were just ok, not great. So, next time, we'll stick with our favorite plain matzah pizza. It sounded so good, though!

Oh my gosh - the best matzah pizza is so simple: Shmear a matzah with tomato paste to which you added water, garlic, salt and whatever else you may use on Pesach, top with yellow cheese and sliced olives or mushrooms. Bake a few minutes in toaster oven. When we're home, we live on it all week! We bought a toaster oven just for this!
