#Some Sephardim have the minhag to eat seuda shelishit with egg matzah<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 444:1 writes that this is the solution that he recommends to eat for seuda shelishit. Radvaz 1:489 personally practiced this and held it was the best solution. He in fact says he only would eat a kezayit so that he'd be hungry to eat matzah that night.</ref> and recite mezonot.<Ref>Kaf Hachaim 444:11 quotes the Birkei Yosef who says that it is hamotzei and the maamar mordechai holds it is mezonot. Kaf Hachaim agrees with the Maamar Mordechai. Or Letzion 3:14:1 agrees with the Kaf Hachaim. Radvaz 1:489 writes that the bracha is hamotzei.</ref> Ashkenazim generally do not have this minhag as they do not eat egg matzah for all of Pesach out of a concern that it is chametz.<ref>Rama 444:1</ref> However, others hold that it is permitted and even recommended to eat egg matzah for seuda shelishit.<ref>Rav Schachter [https://images.shulcloud.com/709/uploads/YoungIsraelofWoodmerePesachHalachaBooklet.pdf Young Israel of Woodmere Halachipedia Guide] permits egg matzah and recommends it as the best solution for seuda shelishit. This is also the opinion of the Aruch Hashulchan 444:5. See also Nodeh Beyehuda 1:21. See Or Zaruah 2:256 s.v. lo yesev who implies that it is permitted to have egg matzah for seuda shelishit on Shabbat. Darkei Moshe Haaruch 444 cites the halacha in 471:2 and implies that it is only forbidden to eat egg matzah after the tenth hour and not after the fourth hour.</ref>
