Egg Matzah

Question:

Hello.

How much egg matzah (in grams) would have to be consumed and in what time frame to necessitate Birkat HaMazon?

Thank you.

 

Answer:

Hello,

It is hard for me to answer you, because it isn’t clear if Egg Matzoh us meant to be eaten and the bread of a meal, or as a snack. If you are eating it as the bread of the meal, together with a meal, then you should make Hamotzei on it, like bread. However, if you are only eating it as a snack, then it’s bracha would be mezonos. It isn’t too practical to eat more than 250 grams or 8 ounces of egg matzoh, ( about half a box!).  If you are eating it together with other foods, as a snack, it is controversial if the other foods are included to consider it a “meal”. Therefore, you should eat it with some bread, and wash.

Best wishes
