Editing Night of the Seder (section)

==== Korech ====
We take two kezayit of matzah from the bottom one and place "maror" inside, dip the maror in charoset and say: "This is what Hillel would do at the time of the Temple. He would sandwich Pesach, matzah and maror and eat them together while reclining. As it is said: 'They shall eat it with matzot and bitter herbs.'" We eat it within "kedei achilat pras" while reclining and without interrupting with speech.

The Gemara relates that there was a dispute between Hillel and the Sages about how to eat. Hillel held that the matzah and maror should be eaten together because it says "with matzot and bitter herbs they shall eat it," while the Sages held that each item should be eaten separately. Since the law was not conclusively decided, we follow both opinions, eating the matzah and maror separately and then both together. Therefore, one should also be careful not to speak from the time of eating the matzah until the completion of the "Korech."
