  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your noodle kugel will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese. If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Season the kugel well: Don't be afraid to season your kugel well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, for extra flavor.
  • Bake the kugel until it's golden brown: The kugel should be baked until it's golden brown on top. This will give it a crispy crust and a delicious flavor.
