MUSHROOM-SPINACH MATZOH KUGEL IN MUFFIN PANS



Mushroom-Spinach Matzoh Kugel in Muffin Pans image

Individual kugels are baked in muffin tins for easy serving on a buffet. This can be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken. I started making these several years ago to bring to a Passover seder with friends and family, and have improved on the recipe over the years. All of the slicing and chopping can be done in the food processor, and the recipe goes together fast. Can be made ahead and reheated. I've never tried freezing them, but that would probably work, too.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz fine noodles, cooked and drained

  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: Before adding the spinach to the kugel mixture, squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help prevent the kugel from becoming too soggy.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of the kugel. Use fresh eggs, butter, and cream cheese, and choose high-quality spices and seasonings.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the kugel tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the Kugel in a Water Bath: Baking the kugel in a water bath helps to create a moist and evenly cooked kugel.
  • Let the Kugel Cool Before Serving: Allow the kugel to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
