# There’s a mitzvah (which according to some is Deoritta) in eating more [[Matzah]] than the required amount. <Ref>Maharal in Gevurot Hashem chapter 48, Bach 472, Mikrei Kodesh siman 48, Sh”t Har Tzvi 2, and Natai Gavriel (vol 2, 90:26) hold that there’s a mitzvah of eating [[Matzah]] as much as one eats even beyond the actual requirement.
