GRANDMA'S NOODLE KUGEL

This was my grandma's noodle kugel and is really easy to make. Leftovers are great cold for lunch the next day! It's a lot lighter than many of the other kugels I saw here, but I'm still looking for ways to make it healthier without changing the taste too much. I've already switched the sour cream & cottage cheese to 'light', and the milk to skim. I'd love suggestions for ways to lighten it even more. UPDATE: In an effort to recreate a sweet topping I tasted on another relative's kugel, I came up with a new optional oatmeal topping. I like it a lot better than the cornflakes or plain.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces wide egg noodles, cooked
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces light sour cream
16 ounces 1% fat cottage cheese
4 eggs
3/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup corn flakes (crushed) or 3/4 cup oatmeal (uncooked)
3 tablespoons butter (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Use the butter to grease a 9 x 11 glass baking dish.
  • Add the rest of the butter to the hot noodles, and stir until melted.
  • Add sour cream and cottage cheese to the noodles.
  • Pour the noodles into the baking dish.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add milk to the eggs and beat. Add sugar and stir. Pour over the noodles.
  • If using oatmeal topping, melt butter in frying pan, then add oatmeal and brown sugar. Still until brown sugar dissolves and oatmeal is coated.
  • Sprinkle either the crushed cornflakes (eliminate the butter & brown sugar) or oatmeal topping over the noodles.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. Do not make in advance of when you plan to bake. The noodles will absorb the liquids and it will come out dry. It is done when some of the noodles on the top are just barely starting to lightly brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) package broad egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs, separated
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
¼ cup raisins
½ cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Place cooked noodles into a mixing bowl.
  • With an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks; set egg whites aside. Whisk the egg yolks together in a bowl until smooth, and mix in the sugar until well combined. Pour egg yolk mixture over the noodles, and mix in the cinnamon, apples, raisins, and almonds. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites, trying to keep as much volume as possible. Pour the kugel into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the kugel is browned and the center is set, about 30 minutes.
