Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a baking pan, melt some butter, warm a little olive oil, or use a combination of both. Add matzoh crumbs or meal, season to taste with salt and pepper, toss to combine, and spread out in an even layer. Toast in the oven until fragrant and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every once in a while to redistribute the oil and prevent burning. Stir in other seasonings, if you like: spices and herbs (such as paprika, cumin, rosemary, or thyme), minced garlic, grated cheese (about 2 to 3 tablespoons of Parmesan, hard cheddar, or other well-flavored variety for every cup of matzoh crumbs or meal).
