== How to Fulfill the Mitzvah == The first k'zayis of matzah must be eaten while reclining - sitting inclined on one's left side, and if one ate without reclining, one must eat it again with reclining. Ideally, one should put both "k'zeisim" in one's mouth simultaneously (the one for the blessing of "Hamotzi" and the one for the blessing of "Al Achilas Matzah"), and swallow one complete k'zayis and then another k'zayis, so that there won't be an interruption between the blessing of "Al Achilas Matzah" and eating the k'zayis associated with it (as there is a dispute whether the blessing of "Al Achilas Matzah" relates to the broken matzah and the blessing of "Hamotzi" to the whole one, or vice versa). But after the fact, this does not invalidate [the mitzvah]. Although it should be noted that with today's matzos, this is not so feasible.
