This was eaten with the Passover lamb for 7 days following the Passover. It is called the "bread of affliction" (De.16:3), and is to be eaten with bitter herbs (Nu.9:11). This is to remind Israel of the bitterness of bondage, and how they came out of Egypt at night in haste --not having time to leaven their dough (Ex.12:31-34). The lamb was to be roasted with fire and completely consumed.

Christ was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
The Christian putting sin out of his life (2Co.7:1), and feeding on Christ (1Co.5:6-8).
The blood of the lamb was sufficient to save from death, but they had to feed on the lamb to get strength for their pilgrim journey.
The lamb was to be roasted with fire, which speaks of Christ's suffering.
The lamb was completely consumed which speaks of Christ's not seeing corruption in His body (Ps.16:10).
