I like the idea of fried matzo and would like to make that some time but it seems like it would be somewhat like an omelet. I like cheese in my omelets can you put cheese in fried matzo?
You may, but it would be unusual to see. Remember that not only don't you eat dairy with meat, you don't prepare it in the same cooking vessels. And it goes one step further in that Passover cooking and service pieces (silverware, plates, etc.) must never have touched leavened bread (etc.). Because of the cost -- and remember that you only use these for eight days a year -- very few observant families have dairy pans, plates, forks, for passover, and will only eat meat or meat/dairy neutral items during Passover.
Mind you, our clan doesn't care: we don't have Passover-specific plates/pans, and we'll serve butter for the matzoh alongside brisket, and cheesecake for dessert.
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
